Turkey Burgers with Avocado Sauce

I definitely prefer beef over turkey when it comes to a burger. I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have found turkey burgers to be dull and bland. Over the past few years, I have made it a mission to find good tasting turkey burgers. Tonight, we tried this one. It was full of flavor, bulked up with veggies and very good. You can see my other two favorite turkey burgers on this site as well. They are the Zesty Turkey Burger and the Hawaiian Turkey Burger.

Turkey burgers are best cooked on a George Foreman grill or cooked in a pan on the stove top.
