Kohlrabi Schnitzel Burger

This Kohlrabi Schnitzel Burger is super delicious! It tastes kind of summery – despite the Thousand Island sauce. Kohlrabi (or german turnip or turnip cabbage) is the base for these burgers. Kohlrabi Schnitzels are great with potatoes or rice, but they make an awesome burger patty as well!
