California turkey burger is a healthy twist on the classic beef burger, created for those who love the taste of a good burger but wish to avoid the high fat content of a traditional burger. Made with ground turkey, this burger is leaner and healthier than beef burgers and is packed with flavor and nutrients. The combination of arugula, tomato, and avocado adds a depth of flavor to the burger and makes it a perfect meal for lunch or dinner.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, salt and pepper.
2.	Form the mixture into 4 patties and grill over medium heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
3.	Top with a slice of havarti cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
4.	To assemble the burger, place arugula leaves, tomato slices and avocado slices on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
5.	Place the grilled turkey burger with cheese on top of the toppings.
6.	Cover with the top bun to complete the sandwich.

PROS

This burger is healthier than traditional beef burgers, low in calories and fat.

It is also packed with nutrients and vitamins from the vegetables and avocado.

CONS

Turkey burgers can sometimes be dry, so it is important not to overcook them.

The brioche or onion rolls used as buns can be high in calories and carbohydrates.
