Turkey Burgers with Avocado Slaw
Turkey burgers with avocado slaw make a juicy skillet dinner with a cool, crunchy side.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb 93% lean ground turkey raw
- 1/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp 2% milk
- 1/4 cup onion finely grated with its juice
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 4 cups green cabbage thinly shredded
- 1 medium avocado peeled and pitted
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 4 large leaves romaine lettuce washed and dried
Instructions
- Stir breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl and let stand 2 minutes. Add turkey, grated onion, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix gently, then shape four patties about 3/4 inch thick. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
- Mash avocado with lime juice in a separate bowl. Fold in cabbage until lightly coated. Divide slaw into four portions and keep chilled while cooking.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add patties without crowding, cooking in batches if needed. Cook 6–8 minutes per side until browned and 165°F in the center. Lower the heat if the outside darkens before the middle is done; do not press the patties.
- Place one burger on each lettuce leaf and serve with one quarter of the avocado slaw. Buns, cheese and additional sauces are optional extras and are not included.
Notes
One burger, one lettuce leaf and one quarter of the slaw. All listed sauces, sides and toppings are included; extra serving suggestions are separate. Nutrition is estimated and changes with brands and portions.
