Recipe Notes
: These patties can be grilled or pan-seared. To grill or pan sear, follow steps 1-4 and place patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet then place in the freezer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove from the freezer and cook patties
on the grill or on a pan coated in cooking spray on medium heat, flipping halfway.
• These patties can be served on a whole wheat hamburger bun, wrapped in a large lettuce leaf for a lettuce wrap,
or skip a wrap altogether. This yummy protein-packed patty tastes great on its own.
