Recipe: Cheesy Ground Turkey Jalapeno Burger with Avocado Relish

 

This is a burger that my brother-in-law, Larry, makes all the time. We decided to add some big flavor with avocado relish. We cooked these on the grill, but they can be done on the stovetop as well. 

 

Avocado Relish Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted and cubed

½ jalapeno, seeded and finely diced

¼ cup red onion, diced 

2-3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped 

2 tablespoons lime juice 

Dash of garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 ½ cups Mexican shredded cheese

Combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.
