Recipe: Sweet and Smoky Vegan Burgers

For the beefiest meat-free burger, we turned to textured vegetable protein, better known as TVP. No, it’s not some scary Frankenfood – it’s a soy product that adds meat-like texture to veggie burgers. Here, we soaked it, then mixed it with black beans, lentils, brown rice and sweet potato for a nutritious, filling patty. TVP still weirding you out? These burgers taste wonderful without it, too.
