Boring burger? Not the case when you try this turkey burger recipe. These burgers are not only delicious but they are healthy, too. Add a spicy guava sauce to really add a kick.

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • 1 apple, peeled and grated
  • 1 carrot, peeled and grated
  • Cumin, cayenne, seasoning salt (about 1 teaspoon of each, or to your taste)
  • Dash salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • Buns

Directions:

  1. Combine all of the ingredients until incorporated, being careful not to over-mix.
  2. Shape into the desired size and either grill for 20 minutes or cook in a large cast iron skillet with olive oil, for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 6 minutes. (One more flip might be necessary.)
  3. Spread the Greek yogurt on the buns, then add the spicy guava sauce (recipe below).
  4. Serve with the lettuce, avocado, red onion, tomato, cheese of your choice, and any other condiments you enjoy.
