Here's Recipe number 3! This recipe is great, not only for Vegetarians, but for anyone who needs a break from turkey overindulgence.
Thanksgiving Leftover Veggie Burger
1 (15oz cans) black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 white onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg
1 Tbs chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup leftover vegetarian stuffing
2 Tbs Roasted Chili or Chili Lime Olive Oil
Burger Toppings
Leftover Mashed Potatoes
Leftover green beans or green bean casserole
Vegetarian Gravy
Hamburger buns
Pulse black beans in a food processor until roughly chopped. Alternately, you can mash in a bowl with a fork.
Add red pepper, onions, and garlic to the beans and pulse together really well, until a "paste" is made.
Add black bean mixture to a large bowl, along with egg, seasonings and stuffing. Mix together really well, with your hands, so it all becomes incorporated.
Using a 1/3 cup measure, divide the mixture and form into patties. Brush one side of the burgers with 1 Tbs oil. Flip over and brush the other side with the remaining oil.
Fry burgers in a pan or on a griddle on medium heat, until brown on one side 5-8 minutes. Flip and brown the other side.
Once browned, you can create your burger. Place burger on bun. Use all the toppings listed or use your imagination with your favorite leftovers! Either top with bun or eat open-faced.
