1/2 cup plain unsweetened almond milk yogurt

2 teaspoons turmeric

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted

Squeeze grated sweet potato with paper towels to remove excess moisture; place in a large bowl. 

Pulse oats in a food processor until finely ground; add to the bowl with the sweet potatoes.

 Add beans, scallions, mayonnaise, tomato paste, hot pepper powder and chia seeds to the bowl; mash the mixture together with your hands. 

Shape into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. 

Place the patties on a plate; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Stir yogurt, turmeric and lemon juice together in a small bowl; set aside.

Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

 Add the patties; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Divide the yogurt sauce evenly among top and bottom bun halves.

 Top each bottom bun half with a burger and cucumber slices; replace top bun halves.
