Photos available later today.

Serves 4

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey-93% lean
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 slices jack or pepper jack cheese
1 avocado halved, pit removed and thinly sliced
rolls
chili/ lime mayo(recipe below)

In a bowl mix together the ground turkey, chili powder, smoked paprika,cumin, salt and pepper. Heat grill and oil the grates. Form the turkey into four patties. Place on the grill and cook until the internal temperature is 155 degrees, about 4-5 minutes per side. Split the rolls and place inside down on grill to toast. Place a burger on the bottom half of each roll. Top with cheese and avocado slices. Spread chili/ lime mayo on the top half of roll and cover the burger.
Serve with cowboy caviar(April 2011).

Cook's Notes- If you don't have chilies in adobo you can substitute chili/garlic sauce found on the Asian foods aisle of your market. You can also take more of the heat out of the chilies if you open each one and remove the seeds before blending the whole thing. I only have 1/2 a teaspoon of chilies in this recipe but if you like it hotter by all means, knock yourself out and add more.

Chili/ Lime Mayo

1 cup mayo
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chilies in adobo
juice of 1-2 limes
salt and pepper to taste

Open the can of chilies and place in a blender. Blend the entire can. Take out what you will need for this recipe and freeze the rest for another day.
In a blender place the garlic and lime juice. Blend until garlic is well minced. Add the mayo, chilies in adobo, salt and pepper. Blend until well combined.
