In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly broken down but not a smooth paste. Add the ground turkey, panko, egg white, chili powder, garlic powder, and two thirds of the salt. Mix by hand until just combined, then form into 2 patties about 3/4-inch thick. If they feel soft, let them rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
While the patties rest, use a fork to mash the avocado in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in the Greek yogurt, lime juice, half the cilantro, the remaining salt, and the water until creamy. Set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more until deep brown and the center is opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Let the patties rest for 2 minutes. Place them on a plate and spoon the avocado crema over the top. Garnish with the remaining cilantro.
