Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 8 slices rye bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped mushrooms and cook until softened and their moisture evaporates, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into thin patties about the size of the bread slices.
Heat the same skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Place four slices mayonnaise-side down on a clean work surface.
Top each of the four slices with a cooked turkey patty, caramelized onions, a slice of Swiss cheese, and another slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Work in batches if necessary.
Cut the patty melts in half and serve hot. Enjoy your Turkey and Mushroom Patty Melts!
