- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Burger Bowls

Instructions
1. In a medium bowl combine the ground turkey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper and mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into 4 even burger patties about 3/4 inch thick and press your thumb into the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
3. Heat a skillet brushed with olive oil over medium heat.
4. Place the burger patties into the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Remove the burgers from the pan and set aside.
6. In a small bowl whisk together the avocado mayo, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle juice or vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika or chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
7. To assemble, add chopped romaine lettuce to the bottom of each bowl.
8. Top with one or two turkey burgers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
9. Drizzle the special burger sauce over the bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
Form the burgers evenly so they cook at the same rate.
You can prepare the burgers and sauce ahead of time and assemble the bowls when ready to serve.
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
