Tuscan White Bean Burgers Recipe

A good veggie burger should stick together without crumbling, fill your belly as a main course, and be packed full of flavor. These white bean burgers easily knock those requirements out of the park. Inspired by the aromatic flavors of Tuscany, each patty is seasoned with Italian herbs and features the umami-rich flavor of trumpet mushrooms. Cannellini beans, brown rice, carrots, green beans, and celery also make their way into the mix, ensuring each bite is bursting with healthy produce. (When cooking the patty mixture, the skillet needs to be wide to give a large surface for the liquid to cook off. If the mixture is too moist, you can spread it on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 300°F before shaping it into patties and baking again as directed in Steps 3–5.) Once the patties are out of the oven, assemble your sandwich on whole wheat buns and garnish with your favorite toppings and sauces.
