We have a gazillion avocados.  No, I am not kidding, we literally have a whole box full and they are ripening fast.  So what does my family do?  Well, aside from making guacamole almost everyday, I decided to try and change things up a bit and put the guac in a burger.   While guacamole is not typically autoimmune protocol friendly due to containing nightshades, I found there to be no reason why I couldn’t replace the tomatoes with another fruit that my mother has recently stocked up on – cherries.  Though it may seem like an odd ingredient and (or) flavor combination, believe me when I say, it just so happens to work quite well.  With each bite, you et creaminess from the avocado, a bit of tang and sweetness from the cherries and limes that is paired with an overall mild flavor from the turkey, these sliders serve as both the perfect lunch, dinner, or breakfast.  You can also turn these sliders into full size burgers, or even meatballs for a fun, Mexican twist on an Italian classic.  Overall, these sliders are just another fun way to celebrate and enjoy the warm summer months.
