  It's necessary to highly season turkey because the meat itself tastes 
  rather mild. Yet, once ground turkey is cooked up, it's delicious. To 
  do a taste test on the mixture, make a little patty the size of a 
  silver dollar and pan-fry it in a nonstick skillet. This way you can 
  adjust your seasonings to taste. A mayonnaise-type dressing and 
  avacado make perfect toppings. 
   
  1. Prepare hot coals for grilling. 
   
  2. Place the ground turkey in a bowl and mix well with the scallions, 
  bell pepper, garlic, cilantro and spices. Season to taste with salt 
  and pepper. Gently form into 4 patties. 
   
  3. Grill patties over hot coals, 3" from heat, for about 5-6 minutes 
  per side. 
   
  4. If desired, spread buns with mayonnaise-type dressing and top 
  burgers with avacado slices. Serve immediately.
