Turkey and Black Bean Burger


  • Author: Alekka Sweeney

Description

A healthy upgrade for your favorite burger.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 115 oz can black beans
  • 3 green onions
  • 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 19 oz lean ground turkey
  • Whole wheat hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  2. Drain and rinse the black beans. Place the black beans in a large bowl and mash them slightly with your hands or a potato masher.
  3. Slice the green onions and add them to the bowl along with the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until the beans are evenly seasoned.
  4. Add the ground turkey to the seasoned black beans. Mix well using your hands. Form 4 patties (about 2-2.5 inches diameter, 1/2 inch thick). Place the patties on a roasting pan or a baking sheet covered with foil and wire cooling racks.
  5. Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center.
