Ingredients for the Filling:
- 4 to 5 approx. 3 cups) beets, finely shredded
- 1 small onion, finely shredded
- 1 1/2 seasoned panko crumbs
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled finely

STEP 4: Preheat the grill to medium-high, around 450°F.
STEP 5: While you wait for that to heat up, use your burger press to form the patties.
STEP 6: When the grill is up to temperature, oil the burgers on one side, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes over direct heat. If you decide to use a plancha or griddle, oil up their surface instead of the burgers.
STEP 7: Serve these burgers hot on a delicious bun with your preferred toppings.
