Ingredients

Creamy Cilantro-Lime Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • 1 garlic clove
  • juice from ½ of a lime
  • pinch of salt

Taco Turkey Burgers

  • 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning
  • 1 lb ground turkey- 85%lean
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 pepper jack cheese slice
  • 4 small burger bun
  • 1 tomato- diced
  • 1 avocado smashed

Instructions

  • Blend all the ingredients for the cilantro-lime sauce till smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix the taco seasoning and ground turkey together. Form into 4 patties, set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add in the onions, stirring occasionally. Cook till onions become translucent about 6-8 min. Transfer onions to a small dish, wipe the pan out, and return to stovetop. 
  • Add 1 tbs of olive oil to the skillet. Once it starts to shimmer, add turkey patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flip, add pepper jack cheese, cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the meat is cooked all the way through. 
  • Transfer the patties to the buns—top with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, avocado, and cilantro lime sauce.
