INGREDIENTS:
1 pound (97/3) lean ground turkey
1 egg white
2 Tbsp bbq sauce of choice
1/2 onion, diced small
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp crushed, dry basil
1 tsp crushed, dry oregano
1/2 Cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 avacado, sliced in eighths
4 slices swiss or white cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat grill to medium-medium high.
In a large bowl, combine well the first 8 ingredients. Form 4 equal patties and keep cool in refrigerator until the grill is preheated.
Carefully oil the grill using a saturated paper towel with olive oil and tongs to rub the grill grates with.
Place the 4 patties on the grill and cover.
Do not disturb for 5 minutes.
Flip the burgers and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add 2 slices of avacado on top of each burger and then top with one slice of cheese.
Close grill cover and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or until cheese is beginning to melt.
Remove from grill with a spatula to a plate. Serve with a salad on the side.
