...And they are!!! My kids avoid mushrooms and onions whenever possible, but I minced them really finely in the my food processor, and they didn't even noticed them; however, I did. They added so much yummy flavor and moisture. I have tried a couple turkey burger recipes and my hubby and I thought this simple, but tasty recipe was a winner! Happy grilling! It has been too hot here to do anything else! :)
Perfect Turkey Burgers (Food Network)
1 large portobello mushroom cap (I used a small can, drained.)
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped shallot (I just used an onion)
3 tablespoons lightly packed fresh parsley
1 1/4 pounds 85% to 93% lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more
for brushing
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 thin slices manchego or white cheddar cheese
4 English muffins, split
Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and sliced avocado, for
topping
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.
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.
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.
Toast the English muffins on the grill, then
spread with mustard and mayonnaise. Serve the patties on the English muffins;
top with avocado.
