Ingredients
FOR THE GUACAMOLE
- 1 avocado
- Juice from 1/2 small lime
- 3 tablespoons loosely packed cilantro
- ¼ cup diced mango or more to taste
- 1 jalapeno pepper diced
- Salt to taste
FOR THE TURKEY BURGERS
- 1 pound ground turkey (or use ground chicken or pork)
- 3-4 tablespoons jerk seasoning or more to taste
- 1 medium jalapeno diced
- ¼ cup diced mango
- 1 small shallot diced
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs or more as needed
- Olive oil as needed
FOR SERVING
- 4 buns
- Bib lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Make the Guacamole first. Peel and pit the avocado and add it to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mash with a fork until fairly smooth.
- Adjust for salt and refrigerate until ready to use.
- FOR THE BURGERS, add all of the ingredients to a large bowl. Hand mix, but do not overmix or the burgers can become mealy. If the meat mixture is too loose/wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs to firm it up slightly.
- Form the burgers into 4 quarter pound patties.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and add the burger patties. Sear a couple minutes on each side, then cover and cook until they are cooked through completely, about 10 minutes.
- Serve on buns with bib lettuce, then top with a heaping pile of guacamole.
