Jerk Turkey Burgers with Jalapeño-Mango Guacamole

Ingredients

• 1 avocado
• Juice from 1/2 small lime
• 3 tablespoons loosely packed cilantro
• ¼ cup diced mango (or more to taste)
• 1 jalapeno pepper (diced)
• Salt to taste
• 1 pound ground turkey ((or use ground chicken or pork))
• 3-4 tablespoons jerk seasoning (or more to taste)
• 1 medium jalapeno (diced)
• ¼ cup diced mango
• 1 small shallot (diced)
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs (or more as needed)
• Olive oil as needed
• 4 buns
• Bib lettuce leaves

Steps

1. 1

   Make the Guacamole first. Peel and pit the avocado and add it to a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add the remaining ingredients and mash with a fork until fairly smooth.

3. 3

   Adjust for salt and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. 4

   FOR THE BURGERS, add all of the ingredients to a large bowl. Hand mix, but do not overmix or the burgers can become mealy. If the meat mixture is too loose/wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs to firm it up slightly.

5. 5

   Form the burgers into 4 quarter pound patties.

6. 6

   Heat the oil in a large pan and add the burger patties. Sear a couple minutes on each side, then cover and cook until they are cooked through completely, about 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve on buns with bib lettuce, then top with a heaping pile of guacamole.
