Turkey-Mushroom Patty Melts image

When you think beyond the usual burger combos, a world of juicy flavor awaits. Here, the taste of mild ground turkey is boosted by folding umami-rich mushrooms into the patty mixture. To make it a proper melt, we griddle slices of rye bread until toasted then top them with the patties, Havarti cheese, and lemon-dressed shredded lettuce.

10 ounces button mushrooms, chopped (2 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal) and freshly ground pepper
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 teaspoons minced garlic (from 2 cloves)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for serving
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
