Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
Canola oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices Swiss cheese
Canola oil, for brushing
1 1/2 pounds ground dark turkey meat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sesame seed buns, split
1/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil.
  • For the portobello mushrooms: Brush the inside of the mushroom caps with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill, cap-side down, and grill, covered, until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and cook until completely soft, another 4 to 5 minutes.
  • For the burgers: Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Shape each portion with your hands into a round patty, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. Sprinkle both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
  • Brush the patties with oil and grill, covered, until slightly charred and crusty, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook until slightly charred and crusty on the other side, the burgers are completely cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • While the burgers cook, toast the buns on the grill until lightly charred, 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
  • Invert the mushrooms caps so that the inside is facing up. Place 1 slice of cheese inside each cap. Cover the mushrooms with the grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 until the cheese is melted.
  • Place the portobello mushroom caps on the bottom buns. Top with the turkey burgers, ketchup, freshly ground black pepper and the top buns and serve immediately.
