Black Bean Cilantro Turkey Burgers
I must admit I didn’t think this would ever happen. Hubby has actually requested Turkey Burgers on more than one occasion. I have to thank Joelen for that! I’ve made her Cilantro Turkey Burgers more than once since I tried out the recipe. We both love it. I like to make 4 patties at a time and freeze the other two for a quick dinner some other day.
We had some leftover red onion and 1/2 a can of black beans. I didn’t want to let them go to waste so I thought they might go well in the turkey burger. I gave it a shot and they turned out great!
I just chopped up the onion and beans in my food processor and mixed it into the turkey mixture prior to forming the patties. I cooked them on our griddle and served them with sliced avocado on top and sweet potato home fries. 






I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






This does look easy and the ingredients seem really flavorful! I love simple meals like this that have a lot of flavor and make great leftovers 🙂
I love Indian Food! I totally agree about the smell of garam masala cooking!
sounds like a delicious easy meal! Great to see you and hubby last night!
BB – what is garam masala? What spices are in it (maybe I can recreate with what I already have).
Looks like an easier dinner made a bit more fun with the Indian twist!
Mom-in-law: I buy garam masala at a small Indian market near our place. I did a quick Google and came up with this recipe.
I love garam masala!!! It’s one of my favorite ingredients.
Yum! I love Indian food and this is a great way to make it at home without a whole lot of work. And pretty healthy, too 🙂

These Indian spiced beans look great! Thanks so much for the recipe.
This will be cooked in Prague today with minor modifications 🙂 (Occhio beans..)

Oh fun! I hope you enjoy them.
Would be helpful if the can size of the tomatoes were provided.
