Ingredients

Burgers

  • 1 lb (450 g) Granny’s lean ground turkey thigh
  • 1 (540 mL) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) EACH cumin, coriander, chili powder and chili flakes
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) seasoning salt
  • 6-8 slices Bothwell Old Cheddar cheese
  • 6-8 slices of tomato
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 1 head green leaf lettuce
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped (optional)

Chipotle Mayo

  • 1 can (7 oz) chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 tsp (20 mL) brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
  • 1 cup (250 mL) mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream

Method

  1. Preheat grill.
  2. Using food processor, puree the beans until they are almost smooth, keeping a bit of the bean consistency.
  3. Transfer the bean puree to a large bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix together. Form into 6 – 8 burgers.
  4. Grill patties 5-10 minutes per side on an oiled grill or until a thermometer inserted into the patty reads 170°F (77°).
  5. Grill onions next to meat.
  6. In a food processor, puree the chilies to a smooth consistency. Set aside 3 Tbsps of the chipotle puree. The chipotle puree can be spicy, so add less than the 3 Tbsps to reduce the heat in the mayonnaise. The remaining puree can be frozen for another use.
  7. Clean the bowl of the food processor and add the garlic and brown sugar. Pulse.
  8. Scrape down the sides of the work bowl and add the salt, lemon juice, mayonnaise, sour cream and the reserved chipotle puree. Process to combine thoroughly.
  9. After onion is cooked, melt Bothwell Old Cheddar on top of onions.
  10. Garnish with remaining ingredients.
