These Jalepeno Turkey Burgers with Avocado Dill Sauce are light, summery, and so delicious.
It’s finally starting to feel like spring here in Dallas, and I’m loving every 70 degree and sunny minute. The only problem is it’s going to fly by and the next thing I know, we’ll be feeling that summa summa summatime heat. Soo.. let’s soak it all up while we can.
As you may have noticed, i’m obsessed with all things Dill right now. I had some leftover from earlier this week, so decided to make a quick creamy avocado dill sauce to top the burgers with. It takes less than 5 minutes to make and is so flavorful.
I decided to serve these turkey burgers sans buns, but feel free to grill up a bun and go on your merry way.
