Vaguely Tex Mex Turkeyburgers
This is from a cookbook called Dinner Tonight that will be VERY hard to find out of the Tri-State area of the US, but if you find a copy, pounce on it! Otherwise, be patient while I work my way through it and post recipes I'm trying. :-)
Turkey, Bean and Cheddar burgers
Makes 7- 9 one-inch-thick patties, depending on how big your hands are. The ones you're not eating right this second can be frozen.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup diced sharp Cheddar
1 1/2 pounds lean turkey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 15 oz can black beans, mostly drained
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 cup chopped onion (1 small onion)
1 cup loosely packed cilantro, chopped
2 egg whites, lightly beaten.
Hamburger buns
1. preheat oven to 475. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Note- use actual cooking spray, as I was cocky, and used vegetable oil, and now I have nasty clean up to do.
2. Combine all the ingredients, except the buns, of course, making sure they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture. Shape the mixture into 9 1-inch thick patties.
3. Bake the patties for 13 minutes or so, or until they are cooked through.
Serve on buns, topped with mild salsa or tomato and onion. Make a tomato-y salad to go on the side. Mmm good!
Could be spicier, though, for those who like that. Might also work with pepperjack cheese.
