Ingredients

1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup canned pumpkin
¾ cup fresh basil, chopped
1 medium beet, peeled and shredded
½ cup quick-cooking oats
½ cup soft, spreadable goat cheese, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 slices Nature's Own® Perfectly Crafted Multigrain Bread, toasted
4 leaves Fresh basil
⅓ cup Diced tomato
¼ cup Sliced red onion

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine quinoa, pumpkin, 3/4 cup basil, beet, oats, 1/4 cup goat cheese, garlic, salt, and ginger. Mix until well combined. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until easy to work with.
In a very large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Meanwhile, divide the mixture into 4 portions and press each portion into a 4-inch patty.
Cook patties in hot oil over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until firm and lightly browned, turning once halfway through cooking.
Spread remaining 1/4 cup goat cheese over toasted bread slices. Top with quinoa burgers. If desired, garnish with additional fresh basil, diced tomato, and/or sliced red onion.
