Today I bought a food processor. My life has officially changed for the better.
For dinner tonight I came up with a healthy, yet flavorful turkey burger recipe. So many times I have made turkey burgers only to throw them away when they were done cooking because they lacked flavor and everything else that I needed in a dinner. I am sure most of you can relate when it comes to turkey burgers. Well fear no more, I am here to give you a delish dish!
Since I am on the Keto Diet, I am not allowed to have many carbs. Yes, yes avocado has carbs I know, but they are low carb. Avocados have high fat and are healthy for you. Bacon is high fat and protein and turkey burgers are high in protein. Hence, my Keto meal for the night. There is NO BUN. I repeat, NO BREAD.
Avocado, Bacon, Onion Turkey Burger:
1 lb turkey ground meat
1 sweet onion
3 strips cooked, crisp, drained bacon
3 avocados
salt and pepper to taste
Lettuce cups
Using a food processor, throw in the onion, bacon, and 2 avocados. Blend all together. If you don't have a processor, don't disregard this post. You can chop everything and mash the avocado. Then mix it all together. Whatever or however you choose to do this, then add this mix to the ground turkey. Mix and fold all ingredients. Put on hot grill or pan. They will be mushy but if you keep the heat on medium they will firm and not burn. Turn until each side is browned. Flip easily so they don't fall apart. You aren't using any bread crumbs or eggs to keep them together, only the avocado.
After you are done cooking the turkey burger, mash or blend the last avocado for the "dressing" for the turkey burger. Using the lettuce cups, put the turkey burger in the lettuce and cover with avocado! Now enjoy!
