– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
Creating the Grilled Turkey Burger with Avocado, Pineapple and Ginger Salsa is straightforward and satisfying. Follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Turkey Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Form Patties: Shape the turkey mixture into four equal patties, pressing slightly into the center to make an indent (this helps them cook evenly).
3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot and ready for cooking.
4. Grill Turkey Burgers: Grill the turkey patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Prepare Salsa: While the burgers are cooking, in a bowl, combine the diced avocado, pineapple, grated ginger, and lime juice. Toss gently to ensure the ingredients mix well without mashing the avocado.
6. Toast Buns: Optional—place the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until they are slightly toasted.
7. Assemble Burgers: Once the turkey patties are cooked, place them on the toasted burger buns. Top generously with the avocado, pineapple, and ginger salsa.
8. Garnish: Add fresh cilantro leaves if desired for an added touch of flavor.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these delicious grilled turkey burgers with a side salad or sweet potato fries.
These steps make the process effortless, allowing you to focus on savoring your culinary creation.
