Turkey and Portobello Burgers

I love Portobello mushrooms and I love experimenting with different types of burgers.  These combine lean ground turkey, Portobello, red onion, and carrots to make a flavorful patty.

Recipe adapted from Food Network

Ingredients:

1 ¼ pounds lean ground turkey (93% lean)

2 Portobello caps

1/8 cup diced red onion

¼ cup diced carrots

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh parsley diced

Cheddar cheese to top

Honey mustard, avocado, plain nonfat Greek yogurt

English muffins split for buns or serve with Arugula Corn Salad (see recipe in Sides/Salads)

Directions:

1. Use a spoon to scrape out the gills from the Portobello. 
2. Add the Portobello to a food processor and dice. Transfer to a large bowl.
3. Dice the red onion and parsley in the food processor.  Add to the bowl with the Portobello.
4. Add the ground turkey and diced carrots to the bowl.  Mix well. 
5. Add Worcestershire and olive oil.  Mix well.
6. Divide mixture into 4 patties.
7. Refrigerate patties until ready to cook.
8. Grill 4-5 minutes per side.
9. Add a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking.
10. Top burgers with mustard, yogurt, and avocado. 
11. I prefer burgers over a salad but these taste great over English muffins too.
