Are you a burger lover but the doctor has told you to cut back on red meat? Or perhaps you just want to start eating a healthier diet. Here are a couple of burger recipes to help you out. If you want to have a meatless burger, we offer a recipe for black bean burger. Want meat, just not beef? No problem. Try our Asian-style turkey burger. It may take a while to adjust to beef-less burgers but these recipes will get you off to a good start.

BLACK BEAN BURGERS

1can (15-oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup dry whole-wheat breadcrumbs

1/4 cup minced red onion

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp dried cumin

1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 egg

Place beans in a large mixing bowl and partially mash using a fork. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Divide mixture into four equal parts and shape into patties.

If grilling, spray grill with non-stick cooking spray. Grill about five minutes on each side.

If cooking in skillet or on griddle, spray surface before cooking and again when you turn burgers.

ASIAN-STYLE TURKEY BURGERS

1 egg white

1 tbsp soy sauce

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1 tbsp finely chopped onion

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp pepper

12 oz lean ground turkey

In a mixing bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix just until combined. Shape into four patties. Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray, add burgers and cook over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Serve on whole-wheat buns with your favorite condiments.

Enjoy!
