Try a switch from traditional beef-mushroom burgers with ground turkey. Juicy thigh meat grills up deliciously tender and tasty — just add buttery
sautéed mushrooms and creamy Swiss cheese for an easy and very inviting burger
night.
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2/3 lb ground turkey thigh
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup thin, vertically sliced onion
- 4 oz crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- olive oil, for brushing
- 2 whole-wheat sandwich buns, lightly toasted
- 2 slices Swiss cheese

Mushrooms and Onions |
Preparation
- Combine the first 5 ingredients (through red pepper flakes) in a medium
bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Using damp hands, form the mixture into 2 equal patties. Place on a
plate and refrigerate about 15 minutes to help the mixture hold together while
cooking.
- While the burgers chill, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the
butter. When melted and sizzling, add the onions and sauté until beginning to brown
and soften, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms
and onions are tender and browned, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let
stand while the burgers grill.

- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Brush the pan with olive oil and grill the burgers 5 minutes on 1 side,
until browned and grill marks appear. Turn and grill until almost cooked
through, 3-4 minutes, depending on thickness.
- Top each burger with a slice of cheese and continue grilling until the burgers
finish and the cheese melts (place a sheet of foil over the grill pan to help
it melt quickly, if desired), 1-2 minutes longer.
- Brush the insides of the buns with olive oil. Place a burger on each
bottom half and divide the mushroom mixture on top.
