Turkey Bacon Avocado Burgers

Grilling season is in full swing at my home here in Utah and I am trying to take advantage of cooking dinner outside before these perfect summer evenings turn chilly. Today, I have one top notch grilling recipe that I would like to share with you all- Turkey Bacon Avocado Burgers. These burgers are super juicy and delicious. I know this to be true because after dinner was complete and all the plates were polished last night, my husband turned to me and deemed these burgers the BEST BURGERS he had ever eaten! We all have heard the old saying, "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach!" 

This is definitely the recipe to make if you are trying to impress that super hunky guy in your life.

These turkey burgers are easy to prepare and are lightly seasoned with salt and pepper and then garnished with lettuce, pepper jack cheese and a tangy avocado mixture. Try making these scrumdiddlyumptious burgers at your next  BBQ or for a quiet night in with that oh -so -goodlookin'- man in your life!

Happy Grilling!
