Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey 93% lean preferred
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley and Cilantro Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Freshly cracked
  • 4 slices White Provolone Cheese
  • 4 Sesame Seed Buns Split and toasted
  • 1 large Beefsteak Tomato Sliced into thick rounds
  • 2 Avocados Sliced (3 slices per burger)
  • 1 cup Alfalfa Sprouts Fresh
  • 1/2 cup Chipotle Mayo Mayonnaise mixed with chipotle in adobo

Equipment

  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet Essential for a deep sear.
  • 1 Instant-Read Thermometer To ensure 165°F internal temp.

Method
 

Patty Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine ground turkey, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until green flecks are distributed.
  2. Shape into four 1-inch thick patties. Press a dimple into the center of each to prevent bulging.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear patties for 5-6 minutes per side until deeply browned.
  2. Add provolone slices during the last 2 minutes. Cover with a lid to melt.
Assembly
  1. Spread orange chipotle mayo on toasted bottom bun. Add patty, avocado, tomato, and a cluster of alfalfa sprouts. Top with the sesame bun.

Notes

Do not overwork the meat or the burgers will be tough.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
