Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces lean ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 0.5 cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 Swiss cheese slices
- 4 whole grain burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are tender and the mixture is fragrant.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl. Let it cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
In the same bowl, add lean ground turkey, whole-wheat bread crumbs, egg white, and low-sodium soy sauce. Season with ground black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the turkey mixture into four even patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the turkey patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
Slice the tomato into rings.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom half of each whole-grain bun.
Place the cooked mushroom Swiss turkey patty on top, then cover with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy mushroom Swiss burger!
