Paleo Turkey Burgers (Whole30, Keto and Paleo)

If you are looking for a guilt free way to eat a delicious burger, this Paleo Turkey Burger recipe is the way to do it. Wrapped in lettuce and topped with all your favorite toppings, you wont even miss the bun on this burger. And the best part is, you wont feel heavy and gross after finishing your meal. I personally enjoy topping my turkey burger with smashed avocado, a fried egg and fresh tomatoes. My fiancé loves melting a little cheddar on top of this recipe and also enjoys some pickles with it too.

Most turkey burgers that I have made in the past are dry and fall apart, but this recipe keeps the meat extra moist and packed full of flavor. When picking a turkey meat, I personally always pick an organic turkey with at least 5% fat. Anything leaner is typically dry and lacks flavor. And I ALWAYS buy organic meat when possible to avoid consuming pesticides and hormones that are put in the traditional kind.

Give this recipe a shot and let me know what you think!
