Cut the avocados in half around the pit and twist to remove the pit.

Spoon out the avocado into a bowl and chop roughly with the back of a spoon.

Juice one lime into the bowl with the avocado.

Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to the avocado mixture.

Mash the avocado mixture roughly with a potato masher.

In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground turkey, 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder, 1 teaspoon each of kosher salt and ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Add 1 large egg to the turkey mixture to help bind it together.

Mix the turkey mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Form the turkey mixture into four equally sized patties, making a small indent in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

Preheat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.

Place the patties on the grill pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Remove the patties from the grill pan and let them rest for about 5 minutes.

Toast the hamburger buns in the grill pan until golden brown.

Spread smashed avocado on both sides of the toasted buns.

Assemble the burgers by adding the turkey patty, heirloom tomato slices, and pickled onions.
