Teriyaki Turkey Burgers with Mushrooms image

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb lean ground turkey
2 pkg bella mushrooms
1/2 c teriyaki sauce
1/4 c cooking sherry
1/4 c feta or blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 c onion, chopped
dash(es) salt and pepper
6 slice provolone cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat grill to approximately 300 degrees (or medium low heat). Showing a picture of my chosen teriyaki sauce....it has natural ingredients, and very tasty.
  • 2. On the stove, heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet; add mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • 3. To the mushrooms, add the teriyaki sauce, sherry, salt and pepper. Cook until the sauce reduces and thickens....about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • 4. Meanwhile, transfer turkey meat to a large mixing bowl. Add the onions and feta cheese. Once the mushrooms are cool, add about 3/4 of those as well, reserving the last 1/4 for topping. Mix thoroughly with hands.
  • 5. Form burgers, and transfer to a plate. For the best, fluffiest burgers, just grab a handful of meat, shape into a ball, then gently flatten only slightly. Do not pack the meat or press firmly to shape it. Handle the meat as little as possible.
  • 6. Transfer to grill and cook for about 5-8 minutes per side....topping with cheese (if desired) in the last few minutes.
  • 7. Remove from grill, top with reserved mushrooms, and serve.
