I know I know, I use the word "phenomenal" like it's going out of style, and my friends will tell you that- but really I only use it when something truly is PHENOMENAL! And these turkey burgers are- my hubby, who normally pokes fun at my thing for turkey burgers, LOVED them. I originally saw this recipe in my new Food Network magazine, so that was my inspiration. I've adapted it so I have the adapted recipe here:
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg ground turkey
- 2 portobello mushrooms caps
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- a couple generous dashes of worcestershire
- good pinch salt
- some pepper
- a couple dashes of onion powder
- couple dashes of garlic powder
- caramelized onions (see recipe under "delectable pan sauce")
- blue cheese
- lettuce, tomato, and the other usual suspects (but note: mustard and blue cheese don't mix well unless you're cra-cra- that's short for crazy.)
- dice up your portobello mushroom caps (after you've taken a damp paper towel and rubbed the dirt off of them)
- heat up about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat
- add your diced mushrooms and let them sautee (adding a good pinch of salt) for about 5 minutes, until they are golden brown in color. then add your garlic and sautee for a couple more minutes
- stick them in a bowl once they're done
don't freak out on me if you don't like mushrooms. they add SUCH a rich flavor and "meatiness" (a word that is WAY over used in my opinion but there you have it) to the turkey burgers. trust me
- once the mushrooms have slightly cooled, add your turkey and the rest of your ingredients
- call your husband in to do the gross part of mixing the meat with his bare hands (love you, honey)
- grill them up and at the very end, add your blue cheese. top with your toppings and ENJOY these delectable turkey burgers.
those aren't both mine.....
ok yes they are.
Omigosh, I'm literally drooling. lol I'm going to make these next week...if I had all the ingredients I'm pretty sure I'd make one right now! hahaha
