Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lbs ground turkey (not pure breast; a little fat works best)
- 1/2 - 1 cup cooked brown rice (leftover!)
- 1/2 cup mixed veggies or cooked diced carrots
- 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin (high in Vitamin C)
Directions
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. It will be somewhat sticky. If the ingredients aren't sticking, add a little bit more pumpkin.
Form into patties -- I get 5 large, but you may prefer smaller patties.
Fry over medium heat in a pan; they're too "oozy" to do well on the grill. Don't flip until you can see that they're half cooked, or they may fall apart. (~4-5 minutes)
Serve the same way you like your traditional burgers, or for a twist, with slices of avocado and pepper jack cheese.
