Turkey Burgers with Sour Cream Guacamole

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• Palmful chili powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons, half a palmful, cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander, half a palmful
• 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 ripe avocado
• 4 clove garlic, grated or finely chopped
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 4 red leaf lettuce leaves
• 1 ripe tomato, sliced
• 4 whole grain buns

Directions

Combine bread crumbs, meat and beans with 1/2 red onion, spices, 2 cloves of garlic and grill seasoning. Form 4 big patties from the meat and bean mixture then heat 1 tablespoon oil, a turn of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 7 to 8 minutes on each side. (I wanted to cook these on the grill so I wrapped the patties in tin foil to keep them from falling apart.)

While burgers cook, combine avocado with garlic, lime zest and juice, jalapeno and red onion. Mash to roughly combine, then stir in the sour cream.
Place burgers on buns with lettuce and tomato and top with sour cream guacamole and pepper co-jack cheese.

Delicious.
