  3. In a food processor, blend navy beans, mayonnaise, tahini, shoyu, and garlic until smooth. Combine this mixture with millet and vegetables; mix well. Form into patties that are four inches wide and 3/4-inch thick.
  4. Prepare grill for direct heat grilling. Spray grill rack with non-stick cooking spray. Using the direct heat cooking method, arrange burgers on grill rack four to five inches over medium coals. Grill, covered or uncovered, 5-6 minutes without turning. Gently turn burgers and grill 5-6 minutes on other side.
