How to Make Baja Turkey Burgers
This loaded turkey burger is anything but bland! Salsa verde gives the ground turkey patties a juicy flavor boost. We pile on crunchy coleslaw and creamy avocado, but you can add the traditional fixings, too (lettuce, onion, tomato) for even more veggie goodness. Whole wheat english muffins are the preferred “bun” of choice for extra heart-healthy fiber, but a regular whole wheat bun works, too. Or if you’re looking for a low carb meal, skip the bun entirely.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat a grill to medium high.
-
In a large bowl, gently mix the
turkey and ¼ cup of the salsa until
just combined. Form the mixture by
hand into four patties, about 4 inches
in diameter. -
Grill the burgers until well done
(an internal temperature of at least
165° F), about 5 minutes per side.
If desired, lightly grill the buns, too. -
Onto the bottom portion of each
bun, arrange ¼ of the avocado slices
and sprinkle with the salt. Top each
with a turkey burger patty, ½ cup of
the coleslaw mix, and 1 Tbsp of the
remaining salsa. If desired, add a
slice of tomato and a lettuce leaf to
each. Cover the burgers with a bun
top and serve.
