Baja turkey burgers

This is written on a sticky. No idea where I got it from!

1 lb. lean ground turkey
1/4 C salsa
1 T minced jalapeño, seeded
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 C finely chopped onion
1/2 t dried oregano
1/8 t salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Break up raw turkey in a bowl. Mix in salsa, jalapeño, garlic, onion, & pepper. Combine well but don't overmix. Portion into four burgers. Then cook in a pan w/nonstick spray, or grill on your grill.

Bean burgers

This recipe comes from my Betty Crocker cookbook, it's called "Italian Bean cakes" there. I make a few modifications though mostly to the spices.

2 cans (15-16 oz) beans of your choice, rinsed and drained (I find the red kidney beans and/or black beans work the best but you could use anything)
1/2 C bread crumbs
1 t cumin
1 t coriander
1 t chili powder
a dash of curry to your taste
2 T olive/veg oil

Mash beans in a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients except oil. (Note: you may have to add a bit more bread crumbs to get the mix to a workable consistency, depending on what type of beans you use.) Shape mixture into 6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Heat oil in 12-in nonstick skillet over med. heat. Cook patties 8-10 mins, turning once, until golden brown.

These are so good on toasted whole wheat buns with avocado/tomato/onion/burger toppings of your choice!
