Sweet and Spicy Turkey Burgers with Guacamole

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of TASTE OF HOME. The opinions and text are all mine.

Sweet and Spicy Turkey Burgers with Guacamole are perfect for tailgating season. These turkey burgers combine ground turkey, spices, roasted mini sweet peppers, spicy pepper jack cheese and creamy guacamole sandwiched between King’s Hawaiian’s Hamburger Buns. These are the ultimate, lightened up football watching meal to pair with your favorite sides and appetizers.

Football season is upon us. I love this time of year for so many reasons. Crisp fall air, beautiful colored leaves, soup, apple picking, pumpkin food, and of course football. In my house you will find green, gold and a lot of cheese heads. YES, my husband grew up in Wisconsin and is a Packers fan. We now live in Northeast Ohio which means we are surrounded by Browns and Steelers fans, but that will never change the team that Mike roots for. He is quickly making sure his sons are die hard Packers fans too by making sure they have the appropriately sized jersey each year.

There is nothing better than watching a football game at a tailgate or “homegate” which happens a lot these days since we have two small children. When the Packers play on a Sunday I know that I will be surrendering my Sunday to football, which I am OK with as long as I get to help pick my favorite football watching foods {yes, food is always on my mind}. Mike loves to create a really good burger for game day and finds time to fit in grilling them during commercial breaks. Today’s Sweet and Spicy Turkey Burgers with Guacamole are one of our go-to, favorite turkey burger recipes. I think that sometimes turkey burgers can be a bit bland so for us it is important to always spice them up in some way whether it is a really good cheese, a delicious sauce or spread, vegetables or maybe all of the above.

Not only do these Sweet and Spicy Turkey Burgers with Guacamole have some spice from the pepper jack cheese and sweet from the roasted mini peppers {I adore those little guys for so many reasons}, this burger is also topped with guacamole which is hands down my favorite burger topping, and sandwiched between my favorite bun, King’s Hawaiian Hamburger Buns. If you haven’t tried King’s Hawaiian Hamburger Buns before, they are perfect. Soft, a little bit sweet and the perfect size for a game day turkey burger. We also love King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls for sliders which you can easily make using this turkey burger mixture too. If the game doesn’t fall at meal time, sliders make a good snack or appetizer during the game. Less food, but still really satisfying.

I don’t know about you but saying goodbye to summer is a little bit easier when I have delicious tailgating food to help me watch the Packers win. 😉 Ok, please don’t leave, I had to throw that in there! And now for that recipe for our favorite turkey burgers….before all of this Packer talk scares anyone away!
