Now's the time to proclaim my absolute love for Mexican food and flavors. If pressed to choose my favorite food, it'd probably be tacos. Maybe because the flavor combination possibilities are endless, or maybe just because they often combine some of my favorite tastes: corn tortillas, fresh chopped vegetables, chihuahua cheese or queso fresco and perfectly cooked and marinated meat (carnitas, please!). But the icing on the proverbial cake? Guacamole.
I have to admit, my love affair with guacamole only began a few years ago, when I tried some that my friend Brittney's mom made one night. I didn't like avocados, or at least I didn't think I did Boy, was I wrong. Since then, I've enjoyed probably gallons of guacamole over time. This is just my basic, go-to guacamole recipe. Just about any of it can be adjusted to your preferences, but the core parts are there for you to shape into your own mix. You could even keep is extremely simple with just avocados, lime juice and salt. I love it as a dip and on burgers or other sandwiches. Or both. Just sayin'.

My experience with turkey burgers is fairly limited – I've tried them once or twice at restaurants and made them once, to pretty underwhelming results. Generally, my reservation with cooking with ground turkey is that it's pretty easy to overcook to supreme dryness. But, I decided to give another turkey burger recipe a try as another step in my foray into cooking healthier (which is going alright so far... healthy "macaroni and cheese" was pretty tasty!). But something about this recipe just worked – I'll give credit for the moisture of the burgers to the salsa, oil and bread crumbs. Feel free to up the spicy ante in this recipe, as I didn't really notice much heat.
That icing on the cake has now become the guacamole on the burger. If you have a favorite way to make or combination for guacamole, let me know in the comments!
