After having one of these burgers at a local catering place, I had to adapt my own version! These are extremely filling and taste great with chipotle mayonnaise and sliced cheese! These may be refrigerated or frozen for later use.

Time 58m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅔ cup beef broth
⅓ cup dry quinoa
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, or more to taste
½ cup fresh bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 egg whites
1 egg
cooking spray
4 hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Bring beef broth to a strong boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in quinoa; reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; let cool.
  • Chop spinach in a food processor; transfer to a bowl. Chop onion, Parmesan cheese, and garlic in the food processor; add to the spinach. Mix in cooled quinoa, bread crumbs, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add egg whites and egg; stir burger mixture to combine.
  • Shape burger mixture into 4 equal patties. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Cook patties until cooked throughout, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Serve on hamburger buns.

I had some trouble getting the burgers to stay together. I think I might have needed to add more breadcrumbs.

These burgers are a bit bland for my taste. I think they could use a little more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but these burgers were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These burgers are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. They can also be made ahead of time and reheated.

I loved the texture of these burgers. The quinoa gives them a nice bite and the spinach adds a pop of color and flavor.
