Time 2h55m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing the grill grates
2 cups cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (dark meat preferred)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plus extra for the buns
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 brioche buns, split and toasted
4 slices ripe tomato
16 thin cucumber slices

Steps:

Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, without stirring, until the undersides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and let brown on the other side, about 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots and garlic. Cook and stir until the shallots are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then cool the mixture.
Combine the turkey, yogurt, breadcrumbs, egg and cooled mushrooms in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together lightly with a wooden spoon just to combine; don't overmix. Form into four 1-inch-thick patties. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours and up to overnight.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the outsides of the patties with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grates with oil and grill the burgers until nicely marked, cooked through and the internal temperature reads 155 to 160 degrees F, about 6 minutes per side. Serve on the buns with additional yogurt, tomato and cucumber slices.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 large burgers

Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped onion
1 pound button mushrooms, chopped fine in a food processor
1 pound portobello mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup chopped thyme
1/4 cup chopped oregano
1 bay leaf
Salt
Pepper
2 pounds ground turkey
8 hamburger buns
Romaine lettuce leaves
Thinly sliced red onion
Chunky Tomato Salsa Compote, recipe follows
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup minced cilantro
1/4 cup minced green onions
2 tablespoons minced jalapeno
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

To a hot saute pan over medium high heat, add the olive oil and butter and melt. Add garlic, onion, and bay leaf, and sweat for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until liquid is released and mushrooms are almost dry. Stir in the thyme and oregano. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Remove the bay leaf.
Place the turkey in a large mixer and add the cooled mushroom mixture, mix well and season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 8-ounce patties. Pan fry or grill the burgers until cooked through. Serve on a bun with romaine lettuce, sliced red onions and Chunky Tomato Salsa Compote.
In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has reduced.

Tips:

Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your burgers a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include portobello, cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
Chop the mushrooms finely. This will help them to cook evenly and distribute their flavor throughout the burgers.
Season the mushrooms well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
Don't overcook the mushrooms. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
Use a good quality ground turkey. This will make your burgers more flavorful and juicy.
Mix the ground turkey and mushrooms together gently. You don't want to overwork the mixture, or the burgers will be tough.
Form the burgers into patties and cook them over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Serve the burgers on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings. Some good options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Mushroom turkey burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. By following these tips, you can make sure that your mushroom turkey burgers are the best they can be.
