These burgers are more involved than your typical burgers, but the taste is worth the effort. I made these mid-week, so they are doable as a weeknight meal. If I had been more prepared, I would have made the raita and soaked the bulgur the night before so I was only making the burgers. If those are already prepped, these burgers would be super fast to make.The spice mixture is flavorful without being overpowering. I thought the bulgur added some nice texture to the burgers, and was an interesting way to stretch the meat further. These burgers are very filling; one per adult is plenty. I served them with a simple side of roasted zucchini and yellow squash.
