Turkey Burger Extraordinaire Food

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in the middle of the oven; .
• Combine the ground turkey, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon of the wine, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, chili sauce, if desired, mustard and marjoram. Use your hands to mix just until the ingredients are incorporated. (Avoid over mixing, which will toughen the burgers.).
• Shape into 4 equal-size burgers, about 1 inch thick. Season them on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large, oven proof skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil until it simmers.
• Add the burger and sear, undisturbed, for 2 to 4 minutes, until a crust has formed on the bottom.
• Carefully turn the burgers over and sear on the second side, 2 to 4 minutes. (They will not be cooked through).
• Add the remaining wine to the pan and transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Roast for about 10 minutes, or just until the center of the burgers registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
• Check the temperature early and often to avoid overcooking. The burgers should be just firm, but not hard to the touch, when they're done.
• Serve warm, with a little of the wine from the pan, if desired.
