Ingredients:

For the burgers:

• 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the chipotle mayo:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce (adjust according to your preferred spice level)
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

For serving:

• Burger buns
• Lettuce leaves
• Tomato slices
• Red onion slices
• Avocado slices (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during grilling.
4. Place the turkey patties on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties as it can cause them to lose their juiciness.
5. While the burgers are grilling, prepare the chipotle mayo. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
6. When the turkey burgers are cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Toast the burger buns on the grill for a minute or two until they are lightly browned and crisp.
8. Assemble your grilled BBQ turkey burgers by spreading a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom bun. Place a turkey patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado (if desired). Finally, top it off with the other half of the bun.
9. Serve the burgers immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
