Making amazing Southwest Turkey Burgers is simple once you follow these steps:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Add Egg and Lime Juice: Pour in the beaten egg and lime juice. Mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix the turkey to keep the burgers tender.
3. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Make sure they are about 1-inch thick.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Spray the grill grates with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
5. Cook Patties: Place the turkey burgers on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked all the way through.
7. Rest Burgers: Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Prepare Toppings: While the burgers rest, prepare your selected toppings such as avocado slices or a fresh cilantro garnish.
9. Serve: Assemble your burgers with your desired toppings in soft buns.

Following these steps will ensure your Southwest Turkey Burgers turn out perfectly every time, full of flavor and juiciness.
