Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 12 oz ground turkey, 1 cup finely chopped cremini mushrooms, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Gently mix with your hands until just combined—do not overwork the meat—to form 2 patties (each about 1/2 inch thick).
- Step 2: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the patties. Cook for 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), basting occasionally with 1 tbsp lime juice.
- Step 3: While burgers cook, mash 1/2 medium avocado with 1 tbsp lime juice until smooth. Mix in 1/2 cup diced cucumber and 1/4 tsp salt. Serve burgers topped with avocado-cucumber relish immediately.
