Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mix 12 oz ground turkey with 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 3 tbsp chopped cilantro in a bowl until just combined—do not overwork.
  2. Step 2: Form into 4 equal patties and chill for 15 minutes while preheating a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Step 3: Grill patties for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F, then rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: While patties cook, blend 1 medium avocado, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth for the dressing.
  5. Step 5: Slice 1/2 medium red bell pepper into thin strips and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté in a pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Serve each patty wrapped in a butter lettuce leaf with a dollop of avocado dressing and bell pepper strips.
