California Turkey Burger

A lean and juicy turkey patty topped with West Coast essentials like creamy avocado, sprouts, and a slice of monterey jack cheese. The mild flavor of the turkey provides a perfect canvas for the fresh, bright toppings and a whole-wheat bun. It’s a lighter, heart-healthy alternative to beef that doesn't sacrifice any of the "burger night" satisfaction.
