Finely chopped mushrooms are essential for this vegetarian burger, so a food processor is the ideal effort-saving appliance. Top the burgers with Fresh Herb Mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato slices or with Golden Onions and serve on whole wheat kaiser rolls.

Ingredients
Method
Place bulgur in heatproof bowl. Cover with 1 cup (250 mL) boiling water; let stand until doubled in bulk, about 20 minutes. Mix in egg, bread crumbs and parsley; set aside.
Meanwhile, in skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in chopped mushrooms, wine, salt, pepper and thyme; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, about 8 minutes.
Scrape mushroom mixture over bulgur mixture; stir to combine. Shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Wrap, separated by waxed paper, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in refrigerator.)
Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until heated through and crispy outside, about 15 minutes.
