I actually had decided to make these before I saw the posting on here. I'm really trying to cut down on my red meat intake and seeing that I really love ground turkey, it's not really that difficult. I used the extra lean ground turkey and cooked them on my george foreman grill...only 4 minutes tops to finish and no extra calories or fat. For the avocado sauce I would highly recommend adding the mayo in one tablespoon in at a time. I maybe used 2 tops. I like mayo, but when I actually looked at the amount, 1/2 cup is a lot of only one avocado. I will say, that if you're using the smaller hamburger buns instead of kaiser rolls...make 5 burgers instead of 4. Overall very good..I will be making again

<p>I am a clinical psychologist, mother of two almost grown children and descend from a long line of wonderful cooks on my mother's side of the family. One of my ten aunts on the italian side of my family is Marie, a prolific contributor to recipezaar, and her cooking puts mine to shame! <br /><br />Nonetheless, I want to share the recipes I enjoy and post them for others to try as well. I am an avid reader of cooking articles, books and magazines, so many of my recipes have origins in Cook's Illustrated or other notable sources. Others are things I have made from my own exposure to the wonderful italian cooking in my family or the cooking of friends in college, grad school and other venues of my life.</p>
