Amazing Healthy Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 - 1.5 lbs. ground turkey (not pure breast; a little fat works best)
• 1/2 - 1 cup cooked brown rice (leftover!)
• 1/2 cup mixed veggies or cooked diced carrots
• 2 Tbsp. canned pumpkin (high in Vitamin C)

Directions

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. It will be somewhat sticky. If the ingredients aren't sticking, add a little bit more pumpkin.

Form into patties - I get 5 large, but you may prefer smaller patties.

Fry over medium heat in a pan; they're too "oozy" to do well on the grill. Don't flip until you can see that they're half cooked, or they may fall apart. (~4-5 minutes)

Serve the same way you like your traditional burgers, or for a twist, with slices of avocado and pepper jack cheese.
