Are you craving a juicy, meaty burger with all of the delicious toppings that will drip down the side of your mouth when you take a bite? I know I am. Mmmmm, burgers, who can resist them? But how about a healthier version that will still satisfy your craving but be gentle to your waist?

Ground chicken meat mixed in with some healthy and creamy avocado and the spices will make this one of the best burgers you ever had; and without the guilt or heaviness. Plus, this is a great way to sneak in some veggies for your kids.

Chicken is low in fat and high in protein and taste! Add in some creamy, good-for-you-fat avocado and you will never have another dry, tasteless burger again. Ever!

Everywhere you read about food and meat you hear low fat, vegetarian, vegan, heart healthy. But many low fat foods are so dry and tasteless that you might as well eat cardboard. Well, not that you would, just making a point.

These are so simple to prepare and make under 30 minutes from start to finish, maybe less. Now that is quicker than take out. And you know exactly what ingredients you are consuming. Even better. If you want to cut back on your carbs, just omit the bun and serve it with a salad. Still delicious and satisfying and juicy.

So next time you are craving a burger, try some ground chicken instead. You may never go back to beef. But as always, Enjoy!
