Avocado Stuffed Turkey Burgers with Summer BBQ Menu @createdbydiane 

Summer is in full swing and there is no better time to fire up the grill. Gather friends and family around and enjoy.

Summer produce is so much fun to add to the menu, with just a few additions to some favorites you will have really exciting menu.

The first thing that comes to mind for me when we BBQ is burgers, I just LOVE them. I love adding avocado on my burger, but since I am such a fan of stuffed burgers, it seemed perfect to add the avocado directly to the middle of these burgers.

Do you see all that deliciousness.

Avocado turned ordinary ground turkey into a super-delicious burger.

I stuffed 1/4 of a large avocado into each 1/3 pound turkey burger, let me show you how easy it is.

After I mixed up the ground turkey with all the necessary yumminess (recipe below) I portioned the meat to make the hamburgers, (I made 6  into 1/3 pound size balls (and the two remaining were a little smaller), then sliced them in half and placed plastic wrap on my hamburger press to help remove the burgers easily and place half the ball on the bottom then a quarter of a large avocado then the other half of the ball on top, cover with the plastic wrap then press down. The avocado will be perfectly placed in the center.

Summer BBQ @createdbydiane

California Avocados sent me a great kit to inspire me to create an avocado menu. Each and every item they sent was well thought out and made entertaining easy.

 

Along with the burgers,

I made an Avocado Salad (with romaine, tomatoes, avocados, red onion and lemon saffron salad dressing)

Avocado Potato Salad

Cherry Guacamole & Chips

I had enough cherries I even added them to lemonade and not only did it turn the lemonade a pretty pink, it was DELICIOUS!

    Clever and yummy looking! One drawback is that cooking an avocado over 40 degrees kills the enzymes. Raw, fresh avocados are just as tasty, and so much healthier!

      The avocado it’s creamy and delicious inside the turkey burger and can all be prepped ahead of time, which is great for a party. Which is what I did, if you prefer it on top, go right ahead and put if on after. But this is really delicious!

    […] This is the grill we have now, we’ve had lots of grills over the years, this one is a keeper, its easy to clean and cook on. I have the CART which is great for home use, on its own, it’s portable so it can be used for car camping and such. At home we have the large propane tank, for travel, it uses the smaller cans which is convenient, we have the COVER too which has kept it looking great for the past 5 years. I wasn’t’ sure I’d love it at first, I was used to a much larger grill, but truth be told this one is more even with heat and I can fill it up and be able to monitor things well, it’s better than I thought. Take a look at the avocado stuffed turkey burgers here. […]
