10. Place the turkey burger on top of the spinach. Place tomato on top of turkey burger.
11. Slice the avocado down the middle. Place avocado on cutting board and slice avocado horizontally. Scoop out with a spoon and place on top of the tomato.
10. Add mayo to the top bun and place it on top of the avocado.
11. Enjoy your turkey burger with sweet potato fries, tots, chips, or your favorite side.
Bon Appetite!!
Notes
If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce you can substitute soy sauce.
Add dijon mustard for a little extra tanginess.
A great tip for storing your premade raw patties would be to put parchment paper between patties to prevent them from sticking.
