avocado burger & homemade potato wedges

there's one thing i know, i love a good hamburger.  if i was on the show survivor standing on a pole in the middle of the ocean trying to win immunity, they would probably be able to bribe me off that pole with a juicy hamburger.

tonight i decided to take a spin on the traditional burgers that i make, and try an avocado burger.  avocados are a great source of oleic acid which actually lowers cholesterol and some believe eating it will lower your risk of breast & prostate cancer.

with that said, here is how to add a little avocado into your own diet, via the avocado burger

ingredients for one avocado burger:
1 whole wheat hamburger bun
1/2 small avocado
3 cherry tomatoes diced
1/4 cup sliced onion
1/4 tsp butter
1 turkey burger patty
salt & pepper
ketchup

* Heat a skillet to medium heat.  Sprinkle your patty with a little salt & pepper.  (i get my turkey patties at aldi.  they are very low calorie and inexpensive).  Cook the patty until it is done.  (you always want to cook turkey completely!)

* While patty is cooking, add a little butter to your bun and place on the skillet to toast.

* Also place sliced onion on skillet until caramelized

* In a bowl, smash 1/2 avocado with the diced cherry tomatoes.  sprinkle on a little salt for flavor

* Remove toasted buns and spread avocado mixture on the buns.  Then add grilled onions and turkey patty.

* ENJOY!  We were in a bit of a rush tonight, so I didn't have time to snap any pictures.  It was absolutely delicious, quick and easy.  the picture above isn't mine, but can be found here.
