Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 4 Whole wheat hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the turkey patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Keep the patties warm while you prepare the topping.
Thinly slice the onion and mushrooms. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for 1-2 more minutes, allowing the mixture to caramelize slightly. Remove from heat.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on each turkey patty and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf and two slices of tomato. Top with the turkey patty, a generous spoonful of the onion and mushroom mixture, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Onion and Mushroom Smothered Super Swiss Turkey Burgers!
