Homemade Ground Chicken-Chickpea Burgers

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup dry quinoa
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can chickpeas
• 8 ounces ground chicken
• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1/2 cup minced beets
• 1/2 cup oat bran
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 3 prunes, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced poblano pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground chile pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Mash chickpeas roughly in a bowl. Add cooked quinoa, chicken, egg whites, beets, oat bran, onion, prunes, poblano pepper, salt, chile powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mix well. Form into 6 equal-size patties. Wrap in aluminum foil.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and any juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
