Made with 95% lean ground beef, finely chopped mushrooms for added moisture and nutrients, and a zesty kick of prepared horseradish, these burgers pack bold flavor without the extra calories. Worcestershire sauce and garlic lend a rich, umami depth while whole wheat buns, crispy lettuce, and juicy tomato slices round out a wholesome bite. Perfectly seared in just minutes, these quick-cooking patties are a healthier choice for weeknight dinners or weekend cookouts. Serve them with an optional dollop of reduced-fat mayonnaise for a creamy finishing touch. Delicious, simple, and full of protein, these reduced-fat hamburgers are a guilt-free indulgence!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lean beef, finely chopped mushrooms, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a burger patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with a little non-stick cooking spray, if necessary.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain juices.
Lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the skillet or grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of reduced-fat mayonnaise (if using). Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your reduced-fat mushroom and horseradish hamburgers.
