The best darn Burger, I swear. These Turkey Black Bean Burgers are delicious and the recipe was a bit of a what do I have on hand lets throw it together and see if it works kind of deals. I eat them without the bun to keep them gluten free.
My husband is in love with these burgers, and the great part for me is that they are super easy to pull together. I like to cook these burgers in the oven first on a low temperature because turkey can dry out quickly. I use a broiler pan that allows me to fill the bottom of the pan with water.
While the burgers are in the oven the water evaporates and helps to keep your burgers moist. You can serve the burgers directly from the oven, but I like to throw them on the grill for a few minutes each side.
To keep this recipe gluten free skip the bun and top your burger with an assortment of veggies. My favorite topping is mashed avocado.
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 cup of black beans drained, rinsed and roughly chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 small yellow onion, peeled and grated
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon dried italian seasoning mix (oregano, thyme, rosemary and basil)
- Heat oven to 250°.
- Add all the ingredients in a large bowl and form into burgers.
- Place burgers on broiler pan and fill bottom of pan with 1 cup of water
- Cook in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Heat grill to medium and grill burgers 4-5 minutes each side.

I love the addition of the mashed avocado – I think I could get my husband to eat these!
Oh man I love these! It’s always a good time for a turkey burger and I love that avocado!
I can’t wait to try your recipe. I found you via a hop. Thanks for sharing.
Your photography is simply stunning!
Glad I found this! Just wondering if these can be frozen? Or should I do the broiler part and freeze partially cooked?
Yes, freezing would work raw or partially cooked.
