Serves: 4

This Rachael Ray recipe is from www.foodtv.com.

• Ingredients:

1 cup cold leftover white or brown rice

1 pound ground turkey

1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Palmful chili powder

1½ teaspoons each cumin and coriander

1 tablespoon grill seasoning, such as Montreal Seasoning by McCormick

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 ripe avocado

1 clove garlic, grated or finely chopped

1 lime, zested and juiced

1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, seeded and finely chopped

½ small red onion, finely chopped

½ cup sour cream

4 red leaf lettuce leaves

1 ripe tomato, sliced

4 crusty rolls, split

• Instructions:

Combine rice, meat and beans with spices and grill seasoning. Form four big patties from the meat and bean mixture then heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties seven to eight minutes on each side. While burgers cook, combine avocado with garlic, lime zest and juice, jalapeño and red onion. Mash to roughly combine, then stir in the sour cream. Place burgers on buns with lettuce and tomato and top with sour cream guacamole.
