Avocado provides creaminess with healthier fats.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole wheat buns

Whole wheat buns offer more fiber.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often cheaper.

ketchup

Homemade sauce can be fresher and lower in sugar.

Form ground beef into patties, pressing in the center to prevent puffing.

Season both sides of the patties with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Cook patties for 3-4 minutes on one side until browned.

Flip the patties and add cheese on top, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

Toast burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden.

Assemble burgers by placing lettuce on the bottom bun.

Add the cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.

Layer tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles on the patty.

Spread ketchup and mustard on the top bun before placing it on the burger.
