Ingredients

  1. 1 large portobello mushroom cap
  2. 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped shallot
  3. 3 tablespoons lightly packed fresh parsley
  4. 1 1/4 pounds 85% to 93% lean ground turkey
  5. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  6. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  7. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  8. 8 thin slices manchego or white cheddar cheese
  9. 4 English muffins, split
  10. Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and sliced avocado, for topping

Instructions

  1. Use a spoon to scrape out the gills from the underside of the mushroom cap. Cut the cap into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a food processor. Add the shallot and parsley and pulse until chopped.
  2. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl. Add the turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; gently mix with your hands until just combined. Divide into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Put on a large plate, cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat a grill to medium. Brush the grates with olive oil. Grill the patties, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Give the patties a quarter turn and cook until marked again, 4 to 5 more minutes. Flip the patties and grill until cooked through, 6 to 7 more minutes; top each with 2 slices cheese during the last 3 minutes of cooking and cover with a disposable aluminum pan to melt.
  4. Toast the English muffins on the grill, then spread with mustard and mayonnaise. Serve the patties on the English muffins; top with avocado.

Excellent as they were moist & tasty too!
I just hand chopped up a few baby bella mushrooms as didn’t have a portobello and I could not be bothered to pullout the Cuisinart & then clean it for just four burgers, so that worked perfectly. I served them open face on whole wheat English muffins with additional sautéed baby bell mushrooms & sliced onion . . . Yum!

Fabulous burger, rich, meaty flavor, you don’t taste the mushroom, which was a concern since they’re raw. We like mushrooms, but it’s turkey burger not a veggie burger. Served on a regular bun with sriracha mayo, sliced red onion & American cheese.

The best turkey burger. Tasty, moist and simple to make. Love it with Russian dressing and coleslaw.

I can’t say enough good things about this burger!  We do it on regular buns, but that’s the only change I have made. It is delicious and my kids who are 4 and 6, even ask for them!  I have never tasted a turkey burger that has almost a ground beef flavor, before this one. It is on our regular rotation now.
