This burger recipe is under 400 calories and so yummy you won’t be missing the carbs! The “bun” is basically a tomato and some avocado for the top but the caramelized balsamic onion add the greatest touch of flavor for this dinner! Plus, the meal is great for work lunches. Store each piece of the burger in a separate ziploc bag, heat up the burger meat, and assemble at work!
