Instructions:
1. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and process until fully combined. You can either process it all the way smooth or leave in with some texture.
2. Allow mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. I like to chill it for half an hour for to make it easier to form the patties.
3. While burgers are chilling, crush the remaining pistachios into tiny pieces and place on a plate.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Form the chilled mixture into 4 equal sized patties and press each side of each patty onto the crushed pistachios. Transfer crusted burgers to prepared pan.
6. Bake for 40 minutes, flip halfway through
7. Assemble burger and enjoy!
