Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey with 1 tsp chipotle powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Step 2: Shape the mixture into 4 even patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil. Grill the patties for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside is nicely charred.
Step 4: While burgers cook, prepare the avocado-lime aioli by mashing 1 ripe avocado with 1 tbsp lime juice and 1/4 cup mayonnaise until smooth.
Step 5: Toast 4 whole wheat burger buns lightly on the grill.
Step 6: Assemble burgers by spreading a generous layer of avocado-lime aioli on the bottom bun, adding a turkey patty, then topping with 1 leaf of lettuce and 1 tomato slice. Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
