A delightful twist on the classic turkey burger, infused with Tex-Mex flavors and topped with a creamy avocado salsa.
Prepare the salsa by combining diced tomatillos, mashed avocado, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
For a smoother salsa, blend the ingredients briefly in a food processor.
Dice the onion and bell pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté them until softened. Let cool.
Cooking the vegetables beforehand enhances their sweetness and flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, fajita seasoning, salt, ground turkey, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands to mix ensures even distribution of ingredients.
Shape the mixture into four equal patties. Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juiciness.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun, topping with the prepared salsa, and covering with the top bun.
Toast the buns for added texture and flavor.
