Ingredients

For the leftover stuffing patties:

2 15-oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 white onion, sliced into wedges
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup leftover vegetarian stuffing

For assembly:

Instructions

Add the black beans to a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. You can also mash them in a bowl using a fork.
Next, add the red bell pepper, onions, and garlic and process to form a paste.
Transfer the black bean mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, seasonings, and leftover Thanksgiving stuffing.
Mix the ingredients with your hands until well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into patties, around 1/3 cup each.
Fry the patties on a non-stick griddle over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until brown. Flip and cook the other side.
To assemble, stack your bun with a vegetarian patty, mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.
Finally, top with another bun, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure the black beans are mashed well for a cohesive mixture. You can also chill the burger mixture in the fridge so it's firmer and easier to handle.
Another way to cook the stuffing patties is to bake them in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes on each side.
Transfer your Thanksgiving leftover patties to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the patties for up to 2 months.
