2. Meanwhile, in skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in chopped mushrooms, wine, salt, pepper and thyme; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, about 8 minutes. |
3. Scrape mushroom mixture over bulgur mixture; stir to combine. Shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Wrap, separated by waxed paper, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in refrigerator.) |
4. Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until heated through and crispy outside, about 15 minutes. |
5. Fresh Herb Mayonnaise In bowl, mix together mayonnaise, basil, parsley, chives, oil (if using), garlic, lemon juice, mustard and hot pepper sauce. |
6. Golden Onions In skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat; fry onions, garlic and bay leaf, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in wine, salt, pepper and allspice; cook until liquid is evaporated. Discard bay leaf. Stir in parsley. |

Notes
Finely chopped mushrooms are essential for this vegetarian burger, so a food processor is the ideal effort-saving appliance. Top the burgers with Fresh Herb Mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato slices or with Golden Onions and serve on whole wheat kaiser rolls.
