Notes
Turkey burger patties: you will want to make your hamburger patties about the same width as your hamburger buns. If using pre-formed patties, simply rub the Tex-Mex Seasoning into both sides of the patty rather than mixing it into the ground turkey. Cheese swaps: provolone or colbyjack cheese also go great with this burger!Make ahead: the burger patties and Tex-Mex sauce can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time and chilled. (The guacamole should be made immediately before serving.)
