BURGERS WITH ALFALFA SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• In a bowl, beat the egg white.
• Stir in the oats, onion, rosemary, and salt.
• Finely chop 1/2 cup of alfalfa sprouts and add to the mixture in the bowl.
• Add the beef and mix well.
• Make 4 3/4 inch thick patties and place them on an unheated broiler pan.
• Broil 2-3 inches away from heat for 6 minutes.
• Turn and broil for another 6-8 minutes or until they're as done as you like them.
• While the patties are broiling, cut the cheese into 8 strips.
• Place 2 strips criss-cross on each patty IMMEDIATELY when they're done broiling.
• Garnish the top of the patties with the rest of the sprouts.

GARDEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the dressing: Puree the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chives, basil, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the burgers: Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the buns, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
• Top the bun bottoms with the lettuce, tomatoes, burger patties, alfalfa sprouts and avocado. Drizzle with the dressing, then cover with the bun tops.

TVP VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Stir TVP into boiling water in a medium mixing bowl.
• Add ketchup, Worcestershire, soy (appx. 2 tsp), salt, herbs and spices.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Heat carrots, celery, onion, garlic and basic in a little oil in a skillet, until JUST softened.
• Mix veggies into TVP mixture, slowly adding flour until the mixture holds its own shape (like a mix between dough and ground beef).
• Shape into 6 patties (1/2 inch think or so).
• Cook in frying pan in a bit of oil until both sides are hardened up and darkened.
• I've tried adding chili powder to the oil in the pan before cooking the patties, and it adds nice flavour.
• Also, when shaping the final mixture, it really helps to wet your hands with a bit of water to prevent it sticking.

AVOCADO-ALFALFA TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine ketchup and molasses; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, crush avocado with juice; season with salt. Form turkey into four patties. Coat a grill pan or grill rack with cooking spray. Grill patties over medium-high heat until internal temperature reaches 165°F, 20 minutes. Top each with 1 cheese slice. Divide ketchup mixture, burgers, tomatoes, avocado mixture and alfalfa sprouts among buns.
