Using your hands mix they turkey mixture until just combined. Form into 4 patties, placing an indent in the center to prevent the burger patty from doming as it cooks.

- While the burgers are cooking prepare the smashed avocado mixture. Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit, spoon the avocado into a medium bowl. Add in the lime juice as well as the remaining salt and pepper and using a potato masher or spoon smash until combined.
- Spread the avocado mixture on the inside each half of the hamburger bun and top with the turkey burger. Add additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickled onions or cheese if desired.
