Is there a way to make this recipe vegan? Also all oil has the same amount of calories. The only difference is if the fat is heart clogging or not.

Excellent receipe. Every time I make these I am asked for the receipe. The real taste test was when my daughter requested to have the burgers again.

veggie burgers really aren't as bad as everyone thinks. throw it on the grill and put all the fixin's on it and you'd really never know the differents.
