The addition of bulgur wheat to these burgers not only helps stretch a meal but it also achieves a more delicately flavored burger with a lower fat content and higher fiber than traditional burgers. Substitute ground lamb for the beef, if you like.

Ingredients
Method
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small pot over medium high heat.
Remove pot from heat and set aside for 5 minutes.
Uncover pot, fluff bulgur with a fork and set aside until cooled.
Grease grill grates with oil and preheat to medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together beef, bulgur, parsley, cumin, cinnamon, allspice and chopped onion.
Form mixture into 6 patties and season all over with salt and pepper.
Add bulgur, cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until water is almost absorbed and bulgur is just tender, about 10 minutes.
Grill patties, flipping once, until deep golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. (Alternatively, cook burgers using 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.)
Transfer burgers as done to hamburger buns, top with lettuce, tomatoes and sliced onions and serve.
