These make a nice alternative to the usual beef burgers.

Tip
After brushing uncooked meat with sauce, be sure you don't allow the brush to contact the cooked meat; otherwise, it will become contaminated with harmful bacteria.

Make Ahead
When you have time, double or triple this recipe and freeze the extra patties, uncooked, for up to 3 months.
