When chilly days arrive and we retire the grill to the garage, I bake a batch of chickpea veggie burgers. Even die-hard meat eaters can't resist them. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia
Ingredients
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fat-free red wine vinaigrette

- 1/4 cup packed fresh parsley sprigs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 6 sesame seed hamburger buns, split and toasted
- 6 lettuce leaves
