Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

One word. Delicious! This will be on my family menu for years to come! We used Sandwich Thins instead of the English Muffins, and we were impressed with the results!

I used a couple of regular white mushrooms instead of the portabella cap and it worked out fine. Burgers were moist and juicy, even after I reheated the leftovers in a frying pan the next day. I will def make these again, however, next time I plan on adding a lot more worcestershire and maybe a little garlic (Burgers were tasty, but need a little something extra flavor wise. The english muffins also made the perfect sized bun!
