Ingredients
- 1 pounds ground turkey 93% lean with 7% fat
- 8 ounces mushrooms, minced baby portobellos or cremini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup shallots, minced
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 slices of cheese optional
Instructions
Mix The Burgers
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
- Hand wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean them.
- Using a food processor, grind the mushrooms for 12-15 seconds to turn them into a minced texture.
- Add the minced mushrooms to the skillet and spread them out. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring at the halfway point.
- Chop the shallots and garlic cloves in the food processor for 5-6 seconds to mince them.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir frequently while cooking for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the mixture is dry. Season with a 3 finger pinch of kosher salt. Remove from the heat to let cool.
- While the mushroom mixture is cooling, add the ground turkey, Greek yogurt, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Add the mushroom mixture to the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients with your hands or a spatula.
- Divide the mixture into quarters. Patty the burger mix to 1-inch thickness. You will have 4 patties total.
- Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet or plate. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
To Grill
- Start the grill on high heat for 10 minutes. The grill should be 550℉.
- Clean the grates and wipe them with an oiled paper towel using tongs.
- Grill the turkey burgers for 5 minutes covered, then flip them over with a metal spatula.
- Continue cooking another 5-6 minutes. If you are adding cheese, do so at 4 minutes and close the lid for the remainder of the time. Remove from the grill when the turkey burgers are cooked to an internal temperature of 165℉.
- If you want to toast buns, this is the time to do it. They only need 30-60 seconds on the grates. Serve with your favorite burger toppings.
