Step 1.
Prep: In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and pepper until just combined. Don't overwork the meat, as it can lead to tough burgers. Form: Form the mixture into 4 equal-size patties about 1-inch thick. The turkey burgers will be slightly wet. Don’t worry—this is normal. Place the turkey burgers in the fridge until you’re ready to grill them. They’ll firm up and be easier to handle. Preheat: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 450 degrees F. Spray or brush avocado oil generously on a folded paper towel. Using grilling tongs, run the oiled paper towel along the grates to oil the grates. This is the secret to the turkey burgers not sticking! Grill: Season the turkey burgers with the salt on both sides. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 5 minutes with the grill closed, or until the underside is cooked and grill marks form. Flip the burgers with a thin-bladed spatula and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Serve: Serve the burgers warm, wrapped in crispy lettuce leaves and dressed with your favorite toppings.
