Turkey-Swiss-Guac Burgers

Justin liked these so much we've had them twice in two weeks. You're supposed to eat this instead of the Ruby Tuesday Avocado Turkey Burger.

Turkey-Swiss-Guac Burgers
From Eat this Not That by David Zinczenko, p.293
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese (I used pepperjack-yum)
  • 4 Hamburger buns
  • 4 T. Wholly Guacamole
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/2 t. black pepper
  • 4 T. Ortega chopped green chiles (pepperjack took care of this)
  • 2 Tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced

Mix the turkey, salt, and pepper and shape into 4 patties. Preheat grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet. Cook the patties over medium-high heat until lightly charred on the outside, about 4 minutes, then flip. Place a tablespoon of the chiles on top of each patty, then cover with a slice of cheese. Cook until the patty is firm, about 8-10 minutes total. Dress buns with tomato and onion slices, top with the burgers, and slather with the guacamole.

Notes: I added bacon. It was really yummy, who's counting calories? I served these with sweet potatoe fries.
