Oh yeah. It helps if you let the bulgar mixture sit for a few hours in the fridge, and I like sesame see oil to help both with binding and taste. If you have difficulty making the burger stuff stick together, make a quick paste of flour and water and mix that in. It will help the mixture set and make it easier to handle, but will mean you have to increase the frying time. Keep in mind that most oils begin to burn once ya get past 325 degrees. (The exception is peanut oil, but you can't use that. There is a grape oil on the market, but I can't afford to use it. Quite costly--and I have no idea what its smoke point is.
