Weight Watchers Chickpea Burgers with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

Prepare yourself for the most amazing meatless burger ever!  I never would have thought that I would “crave” a Weight Watchers Chickpea Burger, but here I am owning it.

These Weight Watchers Chickpea Burgers with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce are super filling – protein rich burgers that are just as satisfying as a beef burger. If you like the buttery nutty flavor of chickpeas in hummus, these chickpea burgers are a game changer.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Shred Cucumber using a coarse grater and top with 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt in a fine mesh strainer to drain for 15 minutes. Combine Cucumber, 1 cup of Fat Free Greek Yogurt, 4 Tablespoons of Scallions and 1 Tablespoon of Cilantro in a bowl and season with more Salt and Pepper to taste. Cover.
  2. Pulse drained Chickpeas in a food processor to a coarse puree (where just a few large pieces of Chickpeas are left). About 8-10 pulses.
  3. In a bowl, whisk Eggs, 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil, Garam Masala, Cayenne and 1/4 Teaspoon of Salt together.
  4. Stir in Chickpeas, Whole Wheat Panko Crumbs, Shallot and remaining 1/2 Cup of Greek Yogurt, remaining Scallions and Cilantro until well combined. Divide Chickpea mixture in 4 burgers of equal size and place on lined baking sheet.
  5. Put Cucumber Sauce and Chickpea Burgers into the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill or up to 24 hours.
  6. When ready to cook, remove Cucumber Sauce from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature while preparing burgers.
  7. Spray a large skillet liberally with Vegetable Cooking Spray over medium heat. Also add in 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil and tilt to coat the entire skillet.
  8. Gently add in the 4 Chickpea Burgers and cook until browned on both sides – about 8 minutes per side. Serve with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce.
  9. This makes 4 “Burgers” at 6 SmartPoints per burger on the Blue and Purple Plans. You can have as much Cucumber Yogurt Sauce as you like on the Blue/Purple Plans. On the Green Plan, it is 12 SmartPoints per burger including 1/4 serving of the Cucumber Yogurt Sauce per person.
