How about brown rice?
Or soaked lentils?
May not be what you are looking for, but... Sometimes I make burgers with baked steamed potato slices. Yes, just big flat oven fries. Not only are potatoes delicious, by the time you add mustard, ketchup, pickles, lettuce, onion, tomato, etc., the patty is just a small part of the sandwich. I guess your husband is probably skipping the bun too?
Another burger alternative is slices of "meat loaf". I make a lentil and brown rice lentil loaf. Soaked raw lentils are the binder. Technique inspired by traditional falafel. The soaked raw lentils are mixed in food processor with tomato sauce or other vegetables. Unlike burger recipes that combine pre cooked beans and grains, you need to make sure to bake these long enough to cook the raw lentils.
