What do we need:

Lentil Burgers:

• 1 c cooked lentils
• ½ small white onion, finely chopped
• 1 TB olive oil, divided
• 1 egg white
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 3 TB breadcrumbs
• Pinch salt and pepper

Special Sauce (or for a similar taste result you can just use Russian/Thousand Island dressing):

• 1 TB low-fat mayo
• 1 TB ketchup
• 1 tsp dill relish
• ¼ tsp lemon juice
• ¼ tsp dried minced onion
• Pinch salt and pepper

Big Macs:

• 4 lentil burgers
• 2 slices low-fat American cheese, cut in half
• 3 Arnold sandwich thins
• ½ small white onion, thinly sliced
• 4 baby dill pickles, thinly sliced
• 3 large leaves Romaine lettuce, shredded
• Special sauce

Steps:

• In a small pan, sauté the onion in 1 tsp of olive oil until the onion is slightly soft and translucent; allow it to cool slightly.
• Pulse the lentils and cooled onion in a food processor 5-10 times (there will still be some whole lentils).
• Transfer the lentil mixture to a bowl and gently mix in the rest of the ingredients.
• Allow the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes; shape into 4 equal patties.
• In a medium nonstick skillet, preheat 2 tsp of olive oil; cook the patties for 5-10 minutes on the first side and 3-5 minutes on the second side (or until golden brown on both sides).
• Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Mix together all ingredients for the special sauce and chill until ready to use.
• To assemble a sandwich, layer the Big Mac in the following order:  ½ Arnold thin, lettuce, onion, pickle, ½ slice of cheese, 1 burger, ½ Arnold thin, lettuce, onion, pickle, ½ slice of cheese, 1 burger, ~1 TB special sauce, ½ Arnold thin.
• Repeat this process to make the second sandwich.
• Serve with apples thinly sliced to look like French fries.
