While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado and tomato.
-
Once the turkey patties are fully cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
-
To serve, take a lettuce leaf and place one turkey patty on it. Top with avocado slices, tomato slices, and a slice of cheese (if desired). If you prefer to add more as a bun, feel free to use a flatout wrap or any other low carb wrap

Note
Leftover Storage: Store any leftover cooked turkey patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To maintain their juiciness, you can place a piece of parchment paper between each patty before storing. When ready to reheat, gently warm the patties in the microwave or on a non-stick skillet over low heat until heated through.
