What to Grill Part II: Veggie Burgers

I was asked to recommend a veggie burger that is meant for grilling. I tried a few different brands from my local markets, and I have a favorite on the grill:


Franklin Farms Fresh Veggie Burger is available in the refrigerated produce section of most grocery stores. I purchased mine at Hannaford's. It is reasonably priced at about $4 and comes with 4 patties. 
It doesn't fall apart on the grill, or just blister and burn like some patties will. 

I did learn a few tricks to grilling veggie burgers:

First, when choosing a veggie burger for the grill- do not go frozen. In this case, Fresh is Best!

Second, read the packaging. If there are no directions for grilling- then it does not belong on the grill.

Most important, generously spray cooking oil on both sides of the patty. This is a great trick for cooking veggie dogs or "sausages" on the grill as well. I would say the oil is the secret ingredient to grilling soy protein products.
