Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 4 slices Swiss cheese, reduced-fat
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, large, sliced
Instructions
Start by preparing the mushrooms. Clean them with a damp cloth and then slice them thinly.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and once hot, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
While the mushrooms are cooking, in a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Avoid over mixing to ensure the patties remain tender.
Divide the seasoned turkey into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Once the mushrooms are done, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the turkey patties over medium heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the whole wheat buns if desired.
To assemble the burgers, spread half a tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place the turkey patty with melted Swiss cheese on top.
Add a generous spoonful of the sautéed mushrooms over the cheese.
Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on top of the mushrooms, then crown with the bun top.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your heart-healthy Mushroom Swiss Hamburger!
