Grilled turkey burgers with sliced avocado and a fried egg on top that are nothing short of delicious and deserve to be on your summer grilling menu.
Ever wonder why the homemade turkey burgers aren’t quite like the restaurant ones? This is a wild guess but I’m thinking it’s because they add in some fat to get that juicy beef burger factor back into play. Well, for me it’s hard to order a turkey burger at restaurants if I’m trying to pick a healthy choice because most likely it’s not as healthy as I am imagining.
For this reason, I decided a mouth-watering turkey burger was a must for my blog. This one is outstanding! It’s both delicious and healthy for you.
The flavor combos of the avocado and the fried egg with the turkey patty are right on point if you ask me! However, if you can not stand the runny fried egg situation then a little ketchup on top works just fine too. But if you enjoy fried eggs like the best of ’em then this burger is totally for you.
How are you guys enjoying your spring so far? I can’t get enough of this weather! It’s just amazing. I love the cool and mild mornings with the birds chirping away and my flowers looking good (I just planted them two days ago so they are still alive!) The best part of spring days are the evenings that still cool down just a bit so I can literally enjoy being outside for hours playing with the kids and get supper going on the deck. C’mon does it get any better than this??
