Pulse beets, oats, onion, and garlic in a blender or food processor. The idea is to create a beet pulp or puree type consistency.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, soy sauce, egg whites, feta cheese and liquid smoke.
Add in the beet pulp, and mix well. Let stand at least 20-30 minutes in the fridge to allow the flavours to blend well.
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Use an ice cream scoop, measuring cup or simply get your hands dirty to make 12 burger patties.
Fry in a non-stick or oiled pan for about 7-10 minutes per side on medium heat. Watch closely as these will burn if left for too long!
For freezer prep, simply freeze the patties directly on the parchment/baking tray until hard. Place the patties in a freezer safe ziplock bag or container for future use.
