The Memorial Day weekend has begun and for most of us, it is sure to be full of relaxation and cookouts! If you want to kick your burger up a notch, this is the combination for you. We first had this burger at a restaurant in Ames, IA called Hickory Park, and after making it at home, it has become a family favorite. We have made it multiple times when entertaining guests and it has been a huge hit everytime!!
We have made them multiple times using beef patties, but this last time we decided to use ground turkey. It not only cut back drastically on the fat but also tasted great! After the burgers are cooked to perfection, place them on a toasted bun (if grilling, butter the bun and place face down on the grill to warm). Top with swiss cheese, crisp bacon, and guacamole. You can find a great guacamole recipe here. Use the extra guacamole as dip with tortilla chips and serve with ice cold lemonade!
Enjoy your holiday weekend and don’t forget to thank those that have served to keep our country free!
