Turkey Burgers Preparation
- In a medium bowl, add the ground turkey, onion, garlic, almond meal or almond flour, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Divide the meat into four equal parts and form them into 1/2-inch-thick patties that are slightly wider than the buns. (The burgers will shrink as they cook.)
- In a large frying pan on medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the four burgers, leaving space between them.
- Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until their internal temperature registers 165 degrees.
- Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a patty, then the green goddess sauce, onion, avocado and lettuce. Place more green goddess sauce on the top half of the bun, and combine the two halves.
