Mushroom-Swiss Turkey Burgers



Craving a burger, but don't want to down that many calories in a meal? Well, here's a tasty alternative to a beefy cheeseburger. It's full of flavor, and can be served alongside a tossed salad or sliced, fresh veggies.

You need:
  1. 1 lb. ground turkey
  2. 2 tspn dijon mustard
  3. 1 tspn cajun seasoning
  4. 1 tspn garlic powder
  5. 1/2 tspn dried parsley
  6. 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  7. 1/2 pint sliced mushrooms
  8. 3 tspn teriyaki sauce
  9. 1 tbsp water
  10. 2 tspn dry red wine
  11. 1 tspn olive oil
  12. 4 hamburger buns
  13. 4 slices Swiss cheese

You will:

  1. Turn oven broiler on high.
  2. Combine turkey, mustard, cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and parsley in a large bowl. Form into 4 patties and set aside.
  3. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms to pan, and cook for about 6 minutes.
  4. Combine teriyaki sauce, red wine and water in a small bowl.
  5. Add about 3 tspn of teriyaki mixture to pan with onions and mushrooms. Stir constantly, until sauce is reduced, about 1 minute.
  6. Place vegetables in a bowl off to the side and replace pan on stove eye.
  7. Add olive oil to pan and rotate the pan so that the oil covers all of the bottom.
  8. Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes.
  9. Spoon about a tspn of the teriyaki mixture onto each patty and turn them. Cook on the second side about 3 minutes, or until cooked through.
  10. Open 4 hamburger buns on a cookie sheet. Place one piece of Swiss cheese on each of the bottom buns, and place under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  11. Spread dijon mustard on the top buns. Place a patty on each of the bottom buns. Top with 1/4 of the onion-mushroom mixture. Add the top bun, and serve.

Nam! Nam!
