MUSHROOM TURKEY BURGER

Steps:

• Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, without stirring, until the undersides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and let brown on the other side, about 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots and garlic. Cook and stir until the shallots are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then cool the mixture.
• Combine the turkey, yogurt, breadcrumbs, egg and cooled mushrooms in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together lightly with a wooden spoon just to combine; don't overmix. Form into four 1-inch-thick patties. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the outsides of the patties with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grates with oil and grill the burgers until nicely marked, cooked through and the internal temperature reads 155 to 160 degrees F, about 6 minutes per side. Serve on the buns with additional yogurt, tomato and cucumber slices.

PERFECT TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• 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.
