Burger Build

🔥 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Patties
- In a bowl, gently combine turkey and seasoning ingredients. Don’t overmix (this keeps them tender).
- Form into 4 equal patties and set aside.
Step 2: Cook ‘Em Right
Grill Method:
3. Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Stovetop Method:
4. Heat a skillet with a little olive oil. Cook patties 5–6 minutes per side over medium heat, flipping once, until fully cooked.
Step 3: Make the Slaw
- In a bowl, mix all slaw ingredients until creamy and well combined.
Step 4: Build Your Burger
- Layer patty, slaw, tomato, onion, and greens on bun or lettuce wrap. Top with extra avocado if you dare.

Want to meal prep? Double the patties and freeze them raw (separated with parchment). Pull out and cook as needed. These reheat amazing in the air fryer too.
