TURKEY BURGER WITH RED ONION AND JALAPENOS

I saw a picture of this burger last week and my mouth seriously started drooling right then and there. I knew I had to make this and I knew it had to be soon! Last night was the night, and it was amazing! The burger was juicy and with all the toppings, it was jam packed full of flavor! Besides the fact that Turkey burgers are uberly healthy for you, this will become a regular in our home...


1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 red onion, sliced into 1/2 inch rings
coarse salt
3 tablespoons lime juice
1-1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
whole wheat hamburger buns
1 ripe avocado
1 cup romaine lettuce
1/3 jarred pickled jalapenos
1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Heat oil in skillet. Cook onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt stirring occasionally until tender. Transfer to a bowl with 2 tablespoons lime juice. 
Heat grill to medium-high and place divided turkey patties brushed with vegetable oil and seasoned with salt to cook. Grill until cook through. Grill buns cut side down.
Meanwhile mash avocado with fork and mix with remaining lime juice and salt. Spread onto buns and layer lettuce, burger, onion, jalapenos and cilantro. 
Enjoy!

I paired my burger with some sweet potato fries to make it a meal!
