Salsa Verde is a green salsa you will find right beside the red salsa in the grocery store. It has a different taste than regular red salsa because it is made with tomatillos, which are from the tomato family, but look like small green (verde) tomatoes.
Ingredients:
Drizzle of olive oil
1 lb ground turkey meat (not ground turkey breast, you want the dark meat for this dish)
1/4 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (or if you prefer no feta, top the burger with provolone cheese slices)
1 tbsp dried cilantro
1/4 cup of dried Italian bread crumbs
1 avocado
1/2 cup light mayo
1 tsp minced garlic
splash of lime juice
Kaiser rolls or regular burger buns, toasted
1 small green tomato, cut in slices
Mix turkey meat, salsa, feta, cilantro, and bread crumbs in a large bowl. If you think the mixture looks too dry, add more salsa. Drizzle a large skillet with olive oil and turn to medium heat. Form turkey patties and place on hot skillet. Cook on each side for about 2-4 minutes or until seared through and no longer pink inside. While the burgers are cooking, mix in small bowl the avocado, mayo, garlic, and lime juice (I smash the avocado with a fork until slightly chunky). This can be used to top on just burger with no bun, like I do, or as your spread for the buns. Once burgers are done, spread avocado mixture on toasted buns and top with a slice of green tomato. Enjoy your healthy meal!
