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.

This dish sounds great! I love sweet potatoes and black beans together, and the cilantro and lime sound like the perfect flavor additions.
My fiance isn’t the biggest fan of beans so I try to “sneak” them into dishes and this looks a great recipe to try out!
I absolutely adore sweet potatoes but wud have never thought of flavoring them with cilantro and lime. This sounds like it would turn out super delicious.
We always have black beans in the house too and they are just perfect with sweet potatoes too – yum!
Oh dear, I never thought of pairing these 4 fave flavors together. Amazing : )
Yum! I love black beans and I also love that they are super good for you. I think this would be an awesome quick weeknight dinner!
perfect combo of tastes. I would love to try this one.
Mmmm what a refreshing twist on sweet potatoes! These sound hearty and delicious!
What a great recipe and beautiful photo. Black beans and sweet potatoes (and cilantro, for that matter!) are a couple of my favorite foods, so I know that I’d love this!
Yum! I love black beans in salads. This sounds great!
And great pictures, too!
Made a half recipe and loved it hot or cold! Took to a work pot luck and a hit with everyone. Thanks for another great recipe.
