Ingredients: 

For the patties:
1 medium onion, finely diced
¼ teaspoon salt, plus ⅛ teaspoon divided
1 medium carrot, grated (about ½ cup)
1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 cup), squeeze to remove excess water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 cup cooked chickpeas, smashed
1½ cups cooked red quinoa (½ cup dry)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 large egg white, beaten
¼ cup whole wheat bread crumbs

For the special sauce:
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons lite mayonnaise

For the burger:
6 romaine lettuce leaves
6 thin slices red onion
24 pickles slices or rounds
6 hamburger buns, 100% whole grain


  1. Heat a large sauté pan coated in oil spray over medium heat. Add the onion and lightly sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt. Cook until the onion is translucent and begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the carrot, zucchini and garlic. Sauté an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Add soy sauce, stir into mixture and cook until liquid is absorbed. Cool to room temperature.

  2. In a large bowl, add chickpeas and mash with a fork. Once soft, add cooked vegetables, cooked quinoa, thyme, Dijon mustard and remaining salt. Fold the egg white into the chickpea-quinoa-vegetable mixture, mixing completely. Add whole wheat breadcrumbs and mix until the texture resembles a traditional meatloaf. Form into 6 patties (about ⅔ cup each, firmly packed).

  3. Heat a large sauté pan coated with oil spray over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the patties on one side until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the patties over and cook until the second side is browned, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Take care when flipping the patties, as they will be delicate. Recoat the pan with oil spray between batches.

  4. To prepare special sauce, in a separate bowl, mix together the ketchup and mayonnaise.

  5. To build each McJoy, place 1 patty, 1 lettuce leaf, 1 slice of onion, 4 pickle slices, and 1 tablespoon special sauce between a whole grain bun.
