Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once shimmering, cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. In a blender, combine ripe avocado, sour cream or yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with water if necessary.
  4. Toast the hamburger buns cut side down in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes until golden. Assemble the burgers with a layer of avocado crema, a turkey patty, and corn salsa.
