I always trust Picky Palate to come through. She is always posting yummy recipes, and I love this one. They were so cute, too. I found mini hamburger buns at my grocery store, so hopefully they are anywhere. We paired these little sliders with oven roasted corn on the cob. Tis the season!
I learned a great tip for shaping burgers from savorysweetlife.com (one of my favorite sites!). Find a jar lid that is slightly larger than your hamburger bun. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over it, then press the meat right into the lid. Pop it out and you have a perfectly shaped burger. Also, press down and make an indentation in the middle to keep it from getting really thick in the middle. For these little sliders, the lid to my mayo jar was the perfect size. A quarter cup of the burger mix was just the right amount.
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 Cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 Cup sun-dried tomatoes, jarred in olive oil
1/2 Cup fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped
Pinch of Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and Lawry’s Garlic Salt with Parsley
Sun-Dried Tomato Mayonnaise
1 Cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, packed in olive oil, drained
Baby hamburger buns or dinner rolls, split and warmed
2 Cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1. Heat oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Place turkey, feta, sun dried tomato, spinach and seasonings into a mixing bowl. Mix until just combined. Form 1/4 Cup little patties and place onto a cookie sheet. Once all are formed, place batches in hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
2. Place mayonnaise and tomatoes into a bowl; mix to combine. Spread over insides of warm rolls. Layer bottom roll with spinach and the burger. Close with top roll.

Black Bean Burgers
Recipe source: ablogaboutfood2.blogspot.com
Please don't be scared away from the title. These burgers really are so delicious. And beans are so great for you! Give them a try, I promise you won't be sorry you did.
One recipe will yield about 5 burgers, so I usually double it for our family.
1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed, a 1/4 cup of them set aside
1/2 cup green onion
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used a colby/monterey jack blend that was delicious, but you can use whatever you have on hand.)
1 egg beaten
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp barbecue sauce
1/2 teaspoon Chile powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lettuce
Sliced tomato
Sour cream
Salsa
Red onion
Buns (We used these new sandwich thins. I sprayed them with the no-cal spray butter and toasted them in my grill pan. You could toast them in any skillet. They were delicious! They're only 100 calories each!)
Use a potato masher to smash black beans. In a large bowl combine mashed beans with remaining ingredients, including whole beans. Mix well. Form into five patties on a parchment or wax paper covered cookie sheet, cover in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Cook patties in a large skillet at med/high heat for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side or until outsides are crisp and cheese is melted. In another skillet or grill pan, toast buns while the burgers are cooking.
Serve on bun with whatever fixings you like. We topped our buns with sour cream, salsa, lettuce, and tomatoes. So good!

Apple Cheddar Turkey Burgers
Recipe Source: sarainthekitchen.blogspot.com and Allrecipes
I realize some of you may be apprehensive about turkey burgers, but let me assure you, these are so good! Even the boys cheered when they found out we were having these last night. And the burgers are not the same without the sauce, so if you make these, don't skip the sauce!!
1.5 lbs ground turkey (do NOT get 99% fat free, 93% and below is fine)
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
2 tbsp chopped onion (I used green onion, but both work)
1 egg lightly beaten
2 tbsp fresh parsley (I substituted dry parsley)
1 clove garlic, minced (I substited garlic powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 apple cut into thin slices
Sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup jellied cranberry sauce
1/4 cup grainy mustard (I used regular old yellow mustard)
Hamburger buns
Lettuce and tomato slices
Combine turkey, bread crumbs, onion, egg, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into patties. (I got eight out of this amount.) In a large skillet (The first time I made these, I used the skillet. The second time I used a grill pan, and both worked great.), heat the oil, then add patties and cook for 6 min. on each side, then top each with 3 slices apple and 2 slices cheese. Tent foil over the skillet and cook 1-2 min. longer until cheese melts. Mix cranberry sauce and mustard together and slather onto tops of rolls. Pile with lettuce, bacon (if desired), and patties and replace bottoms of rolls.
