Ingredients

1.5 lbs ground turkey (93% lean)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 ripe avocados, sliced
4 brioche burger buns, split
8 butter lettuce leaves
1 large tomato, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

1

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Clean and oil the grates.
2

In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground turkey (93% lean), 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Do not overwork the mixture. Divide into 4 equal patties about 3/4 inch thick, making a small dimple in the center of each.
3

Grill the patties for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Do not press down on the patties while cooking.
4

During the last 2 minutes, place the 4 split brioche burger buns cut-side down on the grill and toast until golden.
5

While the burgers cook, toss 2 sliced ripe avocados with 2 tsp fresh lime juice to prevent browning.
6

Spread 4 tbsp mayonnaise on the toasted buns. Layer 8 butter lettuce leaves, the cooked turkey patty, avocado, 1 sliced large tomato, and 1/2 thinly sliced red onion. Close and serve immediately.
