MUSHROOM SWISS TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix meat, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and onion in a large bowl, just until ingredients are distributed evenly.
• Form two patties. Sprinkle steak seasoning on both sides of patties.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (helps prevent patties from falling apart). This is when I wash and slice the mushrooms.
• Melt butter and extra virgin olive oil together in large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic, sauté for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
• Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender, stirring often.
• Reduce heat to low, add Worcestershire sauce, stir and then season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• When burgers are ready to be cooked, heat a large skillet over moderately high heat.
• Add burgers. Don't move them, they fall apart easily. Cook for 6-8 minutes.
• Flip the burgers, very carefully. Cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until done.
• Turn off heat; top with cheese.
• When the cheese is melted, spread steak sauce on the buns, both sides. Put the burgers on the bottom bun and heap the mushrooms (lots and lots of mushrooms!) on top of the burger. Put the top bun on and enjoy!

• Cook for 1 minute; add wine and chicken broth and cook sauce until nice and thick, about 2 minutes.
• Combine ground turkey, cheese, salt and pepper, poultry seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl.
• Score the meat with the side of your hand to separate it into 4 equal amounts.
• Form the mixture into 4 large patties no more than 1" thick.
• Drizzle the patties liberally with olive oil.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM AND SWISS TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil.
• For the portobello mushrooms: Brush the inside of the mushroom caps with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill, cap-side down, and grill, covered, until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and cook until completely soft, another 4 to 5 minutes.
• For the burgers: Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Shape each portion with your hands into a round patty, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. Sprinkle both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• Brush the patties with oil and grill, covered, until slightly charred and crusty, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook until slightly charred and crusty on the other side, the burgers are completely cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the burgers cook, toast the buns on the grill until lightly charred, 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
• Invert the mushrooms caps so that the inside is facing up. Place 1 slice of cheese inside each cap. Cover the mushrooms with the grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 until the cheese is melted.
• Place the portobello mushroom caps on the bottom buns. Top with the turkey burgers, ketchup, freshly ground black pepper and the top buns and serve immediately.

SWISS TURKEY BURGERS IN TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Toss together potatoes, oil, and 1 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Spread potatoes in a single layer in a jelly-roll pan, and bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden and tender.
• Meanwhile, stir together turkey, egg, dijon, breadcrumbs, pepper, and seasoning salt in a large bowl. Shape into 6 (3 1/2-inch) patties.
• Cook patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove patties, reserving drippings. Sauté onion in hot drippings 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, bouillon, and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes or until bubbly.
• Return patties to skillet; spoon tomato mixture over patties. Cover and cook 15 minutes; uncover and cook 5 minutes. Place 1 cheese slice on each patty. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Sprinkle with basil, if desired. Serve with potatoes.
