These turkey burgers are juicy and flavorful, paired with a smoky lime mayo for a delightful twist.
Combine the onion, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and ground turkey in a mixing bowl. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing the turkey mixture to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Ensure the grill pan is hot before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, smoked paprika, and sea salt until well combined.
Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun, topping with a slice of cheese, tomato, avocado slices, and a dollop of the smoky lime mayo. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Toast the buns lightly for added flavor and texture.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dish.
Pair the burgers with a fresh salad or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
