    I found a great recipe in the Healthy Living magazine for quinoa burgers. It's posted below. I used light goat cheese instead of feta, and when I cooked my quinoa I made it with fresh herbs. I will say that the mixture was a bit wet when I made it, so perhaps add some breadcrumbs or more quinoa. At any rate, the flavor was delicious!

    Ingredients
    1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    1 shallot, minced
    1 carrot, finely grated
    2 cups cooked quinoa
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    3 tablespoons crumbled feta
    1 teaspoon coarse salt
    2 egg whites, lightly whisked
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    6 whole-wheat buns, grilled
    Whole-grain mustard, for serving
    Grilled onions, for serving (see tip below)
    Radicchio, for serving
    Directions
    In a bowl, mash beans into a thick paste and mix in shallot, carrot, quinoa, parsley, feta, salt, and egg whites.

    Form mixture into six patties and chill 30 minutes.

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, directly on grill grates or on stove top, and cook patties until golden (add remaining tablespoon oil if cooking in batches), 4 to 5 minutes per side.

    Serve on buns with mustard, grilled onions, and radicchio.

    Cook's Note

    Cook's Tip
    For grilled onions, drizzle slices with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill over medium-high heat, turning, until tender and charred, 6 to 8 minutes.

    I love my chickpea burgers-

    1 can of chickpeas rinsed
    kalamata olives- 1/4 c
    feta (I use reduced fat) about 1/3 cup crumbled
    fresh parsley (2T)
    garlic 3 cloves
    1/2 c whole wheat bread crumbs
    lemon

    In the food processor, put one can of chickpeas, olives (without pits), feta, parsley and garlic in food processor. Blend until it's hummus consistency. remove from food processor and mix bread crumbs and the juice of 1/2 lemon.

    Put into the fridge for a couple of hours so that it gets easy to mold. I grill them until browned on foil on the grill or I sautee them on the stove until browned.

    Top with:

    1/2 c greek yogurt
    1/4 c reduced fat sour cream
    dill
    parsley
    crushed garlic clove
    lemon juice

    combine all ingredients.

    I grill red onion and tomato and put on a wheat ciabatta. They are awesome.

    This just landed in my email inbox today:

    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/06/spicy-black-bean-burgers-with-chipotle.html


    I've made this one below with much success. I've also made a variant in which I added shredded carrot and zucchini.

    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/homemade-black-bean-veggie-burgers/

    The key thing with these recipes, I think, is to dry the canned beans thoroughly so that the mixture does not get too mushy.

    I've made (and make all the time) the Black Bean Burgers from AllRecipes.com!! They are AHHHHmazing and I'm not a fan of veggie burgers you can buy boxed!! I put guacamole on them and eat them in a wrap or plain! :) There are few here I am going to try! :)
