Start by making the dressing for the turkey burger. Combine ½ cup light mayonnaise with 2 tbsp. hot sauce, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, and a pinch of cilantro. Refrigerate until you're ready to use.

Mix together the 1 lb. ground turkey breast, turkey sausages, garlic, onion, pepper jack cheese, Italian seasoning, panko breadcrumbs, and the egg whites. Make sure it’s well mixed (use your hands for best results). Form into patties and place on the grill. Cook about 4 minutes on each side. While those are cooking, brush your rolls or hamburger buns with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. When the burgers are done cooking and removed from the grill place the buns on the grill until they have a slight crunch. (both Sides) It’s time to assemble the burger; spread the dressing on the roll, place one patty on a roll , add the lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado. Enjoy!
