Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Burger buns
• None Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and onions, cooking until softened and moisture has evaporated (about 5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the grate or skillet surface to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the turkey patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing each turkey patty on a bun and adding your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, or condiments.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mushroom Turkey Burgers!
