Perfect Turkey Burgers
- 1 large portobello mushroom cap
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped shallot
- 3 tablespoons lightly packed fresh parsley
- 1 1/4 pounds 85% to 93% lean ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 8 thin slices manchego or white cheddar cheese
- 4 English muffins, split
- Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and sliced avocado, for topping
- Use a spoon to scrape out the gills from the underside of the mushroom cap.
- Cut the cap into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a food processor.
- Add the shallot and parsley and pulse until chopped.
- Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl.
- Add the turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; gently mix with your hands until just combined.
- Divide into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties.
- Put on a large plate, cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- Brush the grates with olive oil.
- Grill the patties, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Give the patties a quarter turn and cook until marked again, 4 to 5 more minutes.
- Flip the patties and grill until cooked through, 6 to 7 more minutes; top each with 2 slices cheese during the last 3 minutes of cooking and cover with a disposable aluminum pan to melt.
- Toast the English muffins on the grill, then spread with mustard and mayonnaise.
- Serve the patties on the English muffins; top with avocado.
