How to make TVP burgers

Directions

  1. Place the water into a bowl and add the oregano, basil, parsley flakes, onion, garlic granules (or powders), and mustard powder with the oats and TVP chunks, and mix well.

  2. Add the ketchup and soy sauce to the mixture, and let rest for 5 minutes so the TVP can soak up the flavors.

  3. Add the nut/seed butter and incorporate.

  4. Add the whole-wheat pastry flour and nutritional yeast, and mix thoroughly.

  5. Form 4 flat patties by hand.

  6. Put a skillet on medium heat and add a light coating of high-smoke point oil like coconut or grapeseed oil (preferably just a small spray of oil) and cook each patty for about 5-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
