Time 55m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large portobello mushroom cap
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped shallot
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

Steps:

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.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large portobello mushroom cap
1 medium shallots
3 Tbsp flat leaf parsley
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
1 1/4 lb ground turkey

Steps:

1. Remove the stem and the gills from the mushroom cap. Cut the cap into pieces and place in a food processor. Quarter the shallot and add it to the food processor with the parsley. Process until mixed and ground.
2. Spoon mushroom mixture out of the processor bowl and into a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well with your hands. Shape into four balls and then lightly press into 4 patties. Place patties onto plastic wrap on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (At this point I usually wrap up two of the burgers, individually, and put those in the freezer for another meal.)
3. Preheat your indoor grill pan for 5 minutes over medium high heat. Grill the burger for 5 minutes on the the first side, turn over and grill 4 to 5 minutes longer, depending on how thick you made the patties. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.
