Mushroom and Swiss Turkey Burgers with Dijonnaise
Ingredients
For the Turkey Burgers
- 1 pound of ground turkey
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
- 1 onion diced
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 3 teaspoons of cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dijonnaise Sauce
- 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Sauté the mushrooms and onions: Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions start to caramelize, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until everything is golden and tender about 7 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the Dijonnaise: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Adjust the ratio to taste if needed.
- Form and cook the turkey burgers: Form into 4 equal size patties about 1 inch thick. Season the ground turkey patties with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat, add the remaining oil and sear the burgers for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Once both sides are seared reduce the heat to medium low, add 2 tbsp of water and cover with a lid. Continue to cook the burgers for another 10-12 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Add the cheese: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the pan loosely with a lid to help melt the cheese.
- Assemble: Toast your buns if desired. Spread a generous spoonful of Dijonnaise on the bottom bun, top with the turkey patty, then pile on the mushroom and onion mixture. Finish with the top bun and serve warm. Enjoy!
