Turkey and Lentil Burgers
Who would think of burgers as a source of fiber?
These are! Only ¼ cup of the black lentil contains 54% of your daily fiber intake. Black lentils also deliver potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and folate.
Furthermore, studies show that black lentils may help lower the “bad” LDL cholesterol.
The hidden pureed black lentil in these burgers makes them not only nutritious but very flavorful and moist inside.
Serve on your favorite type of buns with your favorite burger toppings, or add as a protein source to recipes like Lemon Tahini and Vegetables bowl or Blood Orange and Fennel Salad.
Enjoy!
