Paleo Turkey Burgers with fresh Guacamole

Paleo Turkey Burger

These delicious burgers are Paleo friendly, easy and super tasty too!

While we have enjoyed burgers bread buns in the past, we happily look forward to enjoying the true taste of a burger minus the high carb bread.

I must admit, I was a bit sceptical that these burgers would be exquisitely delicious, but I was unbelievably wrong! This is one of our favourite meals now and we both look forward to our Turkey Tuesdays to commemorate our new love for this dish.

Since we love sweet potato, I made some wedges as an accompaniment, as well as a paleo friendly guacamole which is divinely delish, and can be used interchangeably with other dishes too. The threesome combo of sweet potato, guacamole and turkey burgers was a friendship made in heaven. We also added some freshly picked lettuce from our veggie patch which adds a wonderful freshness to the dish too 🙂

You have to try it!
