In a small sauce pan, combine uncooked quinoa, cumin, turmeric and broth. Bring to boil and reduce heat to low, then cover pan and cook for 15 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes, until all broth is absorbed and quinoa has sprouted.
Roughly mash black beans with a fork to get a paste-like consistency.
Thoroughly mix cooled quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, onion, garlic, hot pepper flakes and egg into black bean mixture.
Form 5 patties.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with spray. Cook patties until heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
