Delicious, healthy, and packing about 8 grams of protein, these burgers are an excellent substitute for your average beef patty. We’re not sure which we love more—the tropical mango relish kissed with curry and a hint of lime or the fact that they’re ready in less than 30 minutes. If you stick to a gluten-free diet, use cornmeal in place of the breadcrumbs.
