A Smoked Paprika Avocado Turkey Burger

This is by far a great combination of flavors to put together for a sandwich. The actual burger was simply Ground Turkey that combined with half an onion, garlic and of course salt & pepper in a method that I picked up from my dad. The meat was then pan fried but would definitely be better if it were on a BBQ. The onion were sauteed with Smoked Paprika and the Bread was toasted with butter melted on to the pieces followed with Jack cheese on one side. The other side has some, not a lot, but just enough to taste, Kentucky Bourbon BBQ sauce on it. Lastly I put some sliced Avocado on and it was finished. The Smoked paprika has to be used with caution, especially if it is good Paprika. I get my smoked Paprika from a lady that brings it in from Spain.
The smokiness of the paprika, just like the smoking other meats blends well with quality BBQ sauces, and the marriage of these to flavors paired very well. The actual meat held up pretty well to the strong flavors coming from both the Sauce and the Paprika, although Beef is always a better choice when considering a burger.
Ground Turkey is always the best alternative to Ground Beef, though if your looking for something healthier.
