Place cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, about 45 seconds.
In a large bowl, combine ½ cup of the cottage cheese with the turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Form mixture into 6 burgers.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Add burgers and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the middle of the burger registers 165˚F.
To make the sauce, combine the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until mostly smooth. Add the 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese and pulse to combine.
To serve, place cooked burger on buns and top with avocado sauce.
