Smokey Turkey Burger with Guac

     The Hubby really liked this.  When he was about half way through eating he said,  "You can make this anytime."  It makes me feel so good when he compliments my cooking like that.  



In the Burger:

Ground Turkey
Liquid Smoke
Emeril's Seasoning
Fresh Ground Pepper
Worcestershire Sauce

    One thing you must know about me:  I don't measure.  I gave it up cold turkey a long time ago.  So I will rarely give measurements.  So put all those ingredients together in a bowl and mix with your hands (or with a spoon, though I can't imagine it). We live in a tiny apartment and don't have a grill,  so I used a George Foreman to grill our burger.  Point is, you can used whatever hot kitchen device you wish.  

    Toppings:   I sauteed mushrooms and onions and put them over the top with cheese that I allowed to melt.  I try to sneak mushrooms into things because the Hubby loves mushrooms.  It's kinda a trick; I know he will love something if it has mushrooms on it, so if I'm not sure he will like something, I just put mushrooms on it. ;) 

     You can leave it plain.

     You can just put cheese on it.

     You can put the traditional condiments on it.

     You can put the delicious Guac on it that I am about to tell you about...

    
Guac:
       Avacado
       Cooked Green Peas
       Tomato
       Red Onion

 Put all ingredients in a food processor and grind up until smooth.   (I bought whole wheat tortillas, cut them into tortilla chips, lightly brushed them with olive oil, and baked them for about 10 min.  It was delicious for dipping, and it paired well with the Guac.)
