Ingredients

1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 cup uncooked bulgur
1 tablespoon salt-free seasoning blend
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups water
2 cups finely chopped fresh mushrooms
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

12 sandwich rolls, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the rice, bulgur, seasoning blend, poultry seasoning and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from the heat; cool completely. Cover and refrigerate.

In a large nonstick skillet, cook four patties in 1 teaspoon oil for 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crisp. Repeat with remaining patties and oil. Serve on rolls with lettuce and tomato if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
