Avocado Burger with Chipotle Yogurt Sauce

I really should have though of this recipe sooner.

Avocado on a burger has been the standard around here for a while (hi, Green Chile Chicken Burgers, Sweet Potato Turkey Burger, and Super Food Black Bean Vegan Burger). Why it took me so long to put the avocado in a burger I do not know.

Naturally, you should probably top your Avocado Burger with avocado slices. Avocado IN the burger and ON the burger.

When you are a food-as-vehicle-for-avocado person, this double avocado situation is not overkill in the slightest.

Ingredients:

• FOR THE BURGERS:
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup whole wheat Panko bread crumbs (use almond meal or roughly ground oatmeal to make gluten free)
• 1�2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely diced*
• 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (from the can of chipotle peppers)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch chunks
• FOR THE CHIPOTLE YOGURT SAUCE:
• 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from the canned chipotle peppers above), or more to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
• FOR SERVING:
• 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
• Optional: lettuce or spinach, thinly sliced red onion, tomato, prepared salsa, nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Directions:

1. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium (about 375 degrees F).
2. In a large bowl, gently combine the chicken, garlic, breadcrumbs, diced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salt, pepper, and cilantro until evenly combined. Carefully fold in the avocado. Shape into 4 patties.
3. Oil the grill, then cook burgers on each side for about 5 minutes, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
4. While the burgers cook, prepare the chipotle yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, adobo sauce, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve on top of the burgers, with additional toppings as desired.
