The other night I was making turkey burgers in my kitchen and I glanced over at my “Steel Cut Oats” and thought…hmmm, let’s throw these guys into the recipe and experiment!

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground Turkey
• 1 cup oats
• 1/3 cup egg whites
• Eden Organic no salt-added tomatoes
• Nu-Salt, Pepper
• 1 tsp. Chili Powder
• 1 cup finely chopped Vidalia onion
• 1/3 cup bran crumbs (you can use mashed crackers, pretzels, etc.)
• Bread of Choice (Buns, Pitas, Wrap,  Flat Bread, Naan)
• Kale/Collard Greens
• 1 Fresh Tomato, sliced
• Cooking Spray
• Veganaise, Mustard, Ketchup for topping (if desired)

Directions

• Combine the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix well
• Divide into 6 burgers (1/2 inch thick)
• Heat grill pan and spray with cooking spray over medium-high heat
• Add patties and cook for 6 minutes on each side (or until fully cooked)
• Place each patty on your choice of bread (above) along with slices of fresh tomato, kale, collard greens.
• Add Veganaise, Mustard, or Ketchup if desired

These delicious burgers turned out to be quite a success and I loved the texture with the oats.  I paired these burgers with a side of my butternut squash fries!
