Mini Black Bean Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:

Burger:

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 Tablespoon chili powder
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 19 oz. ground lean turkey

Toppings:

• Avocado, sliced
• Tomatoes, sliced
• Lettuce
• Ketchup
• Mustard

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. 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. 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.
2. Add the ground turkey to the seasoned black beans. Mix well using your hands. Form 10 small 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.
3. Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center. Alternatively, you can cook the patties in a skillet, on a grill, or using an indoor countertop grill.
4. Serve the turkey burgers on small buns with toppings of choosing.
5. Enjoy!
