Butternut Squash Quinoa Burgers

• 1/2 cup butternut squash cooked
• 1/4 cup quinoa
• 5 ounces feta crumbled
• 1 egg organic
• 2 tablespoons walnuts chopped
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil or organic butter
• 1 fresh lemon
• 4 whole wheat rolls optional
• 2 cups baby greens mixed

1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, ~ 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, pulse butternut squash, 2 oz. feta, 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin, red pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, sea salt and pepper until just combined. Fold in the quinoa, the walnuts and the egg.
3. Form mixture into four patties. In a large skillet, with a splash of coconut oil or organic butter cook burgers on medium heat until cooked through and crispy on the outside, 8-10 minutes per side.
4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine remaining feta, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, lemon juice from half a lemon, and dash of cumin (~1/2 teaspoon). Season with salt and pepper. Serve burgers on a whole wheat roll topped with a few baby greens and creamy feta sauce.
