Ingredients

For the Turkey Patties:

1 lb ground turkey
2 tablespoon SideDish Chili Lime Vinaigrette
1 small jalapeño, seeds/stem removed and finely diced
¼ cup finely diced red onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons avocado oil, for cooking
Sliced pepper jack cheese (omit for dairy-free)
1 avocado, thinly sliced

For the Southwest Mayo:

2 tablespoons mayo
2 tablespoons SideDish Chili Lime Vinaigrette

For Serving:

Sesame seed bun (sub gluten-free bun or serve in lettuce wrap for grain-free)
Shredded lettuce
Sliced tomato

Method

In a medium bowl, mix together the Turkey, SideDish Chili Lime Vinaigrette, jalapeño, red onion, salt and pepper until just combined. Form into 4-equal-sized patties.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, carefully place the patties into the oil and cook until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
Turn off the heat and place 2 to 3 slices of avocado on top of each patty. Then place a slice of pepper jack cheese over the sliced avocado. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to just melt, about 3 to 4 more minutes.
Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and a spread of the creamy southwest! Alternatively, these patties are delicious served on top of a salad, or wrapped with lettuce leaves!
