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
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.

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.

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.
