Instructions

In a large skillet warm EVOO over medium-high heat and add the carrot, bell pepper and onion. Saute until tender, about 5 minutes. To a large bowl, add the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, cilantro, worcestershire, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt and sauteed veggies. Using your hands, gently mix until evenly combined, taking care not to over handle the mixture. Divide into four portions and shape into patties.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat 1 Tbsp. EVOO over medium heat. Add the turkey patties to the pan and sear until browned. Flip and continue cooking until cooked through. The internal temperature should register at 165 degrees. Time will depend on the heat of your pan and the thickness of your patties.
To make the Chipotle Bang Sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Serve the warm turkey burgers on buns with lettuce, avocados, red onion slices and chipotle bang sauce.
