½ lb Ground Turkey (You can also use Ground Beef or Chicken)
¾ cup cooked White Rice
1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped (traditionally Dirty Rice uses green but I had red... so I used red.)
½ cup Cannellini Beans
2 Green Onions, chopped
1 Egg
1 Tbsp. Cajun Seasoning (a fun substitute is Taco Seasoning too)
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
Jalapeno Pepper, seeded & minced (optional)
Toasted Brioche Bun, for serving
Toppings:
Add whatever your little heart desires, but here's what I added to ours. I think a slice of Pepper Jack or White Cheddar along with caramelized Onions would go lovely on this massive beast of a burger.
Cilantro, chopped (use as much or as little as you want)
Arugula
Sriracha-Lime Mayo:
½ cup Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Sriracha Sauce
1 Tbsp. Lime Juice
Cowboy Caviar Guacamole:
If you want, you can use regular Guacamole or give yourself a break & buy a pre-made pint at the grocery store.
1 Avocado, seeded & chopped
1 Roma Tomato, chopped
¼ cup Black Beans
¼ cup Corn, cooked & cooled
⅛ Red Onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. Lime Juice
½ Jalapeno, seeded & minced
S+P (about 1 tsp. each)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Lightly grease a foil-lined baking pan with Cooking Spray or Olive Oil.
Combine all Burger Patty ingredients in a large mixing bowl (except for the bun) and mix until all ingredients are intertwined with one another.
Form 4 Burgers and place on baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes, turning once halfway.
While the Burgers are baking, make the Sriracha-Lime Mayo and Cowboy Caviar Guacamole.
Once the Burgers are cooked, serve on a toasted Brioche Bun with desired toppings.
