How to Prepare Thanksgiving Burgers [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer the bread to a baking sheet and bake until dried and crisp, about 15 minutes. Cook the freekeh, garlic, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper in about 2 cups water until tender, according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, raisin, thyme, sage, oregano, and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook the vegetables until tender. Transfer to the large bowl.
Dissolve the bouillon cubes in hot water. Add to the large bowl, along with the milk, the bread cubes, and flour. Mash and knead until well combined.
Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Form into 8 burgers.
Heat a large pot of water over high heat to boiling. Add the burger dumplings and cook until they float and are cooked for about 5 minutes. Drain on a cooling rack and cool thoroughly.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and the green beans. Cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside. Add more oil and cook the burgers until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce on the bottom bun, add a burger, top with green beans, add gravy, top with fried onions, and the top bun. Serve.
