Ingredients
1 large clove garlic, peeled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
½cupwalnuts, toasted (see Tips)
2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed, torn into pieces
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried
¼teaspoonfreshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups cooked or canned (rinsed) lentils (see Tips)
2teaspoonsWorcestershire sauce, vegetarian (see Note) or regular
3teaspoonscanola oil, divided
4whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted
4 pieces leaf lettuce
4 slices tomato or jarred roasted red pepper
4 thin slices red onion
Directions
Coarsely chop garlic; sprinkle with salt and mash to a paste with the side of the knife. Coarsely chop walnuts in a food processor. Add bread, marjoram, pepper and the garlic paste; process until coarse crumbs form. Add lentils and Worcestershire; process until the mixture just comes together in a mass. Form into four 3-inch patties (about 1/3 cup each).
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties until browned on the bottom, 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn over; reduce heat to medium-low. Drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon oil around the burgers and cook until browned on the other side and heated through, 4 to 6 minutes more. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato (or red pepper) and onion.
Tips
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 1, tightly wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 3 months. If frozen, let defrost in the refrigerator before cooking.
Tips:To toast nuts: Spread whole nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. Toast chopped, small or sliced nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
Note: Regular Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies and is not vegetarian. Look for vegetarian Worcestershire–flavored with molasses, soy sauce and vinegar–near other bottled sauces in natural foods stores or in the natural foods section of well-stocked supermarkets.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
