@seattlehanddoc A chef taught me to finely grate portobello mushrooms into ground turkey, becasue they’re the secret to unbelievably juicy burgers by packing them with deep, savory umami. Add shredded sharp cheddar for melty pockets of richness and crispy caramelized edges, and you’ve got a burger with the satisfying protein of a classic beef burger, less saturated fat than a traditional 80/20 beef patty, and a flavor that wins over kids, athletes, and even the biggest beef lovers.

Overview

A woman demonstrates how to make gourmet turkey burgers by first caramelizing onions, then preparing the patties by mixing ground turkey with grated portobello mushrooms, cheese, and seasonings. She forms and cooks the patties on a griddle, prepares a garlic-chive aioli, and assembles the final burger on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, and the caramelized onions, before she and a partner take a bite to show their enjoyment.
