Guacamole Chicken Burgers

OH EM GEE!!! You GUYS!! These burgers are to DIE for!! I am totally a guacamole girl and always looking for ways to squeeze it in with out having to eat chips with it. This recipe is one of the best chicken burgers I've had, then top it with guac and BAM- we have a WINNER!

These are 21 day fix approved (1 red and one blue) AND will satisfy your cravings for a yummy burger any day! I didn't use any carb with this particular dinner BUT you could use a pita pocket with some lettuce and tomato -- that would give you 1 yellow and 1/2 a green all depending on how much lettuce and tomato you use!

GUACAMOLE CHICKEN BURGERS (Serves 2)

Ingredients:
1/2-pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2  teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

1 avocado (2 blue containers when mashed)
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions:
1. Mix the ground turkey together with the chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl.
2. Split into two parts and form into patties
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 teaspoons of olive oil
4. Cook the patties, making sure they brown on both sides AND no longer pink on the inside.

Meanwhile, make your guacamole.
1. Mash together the avocados, lime juice, garlic powder in a bowl.
2. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Serve burgers with a dollop (1 blue container's worth) of guacamole on each patty.
