Savory Mushroom Turkey Burger Recipe on Food52 (2024)

This recipe comes from a time in the creator's life when, she writes, “we were having trouble finding a good tasting turkey burger.” We hate to celebrate struggle, but when it ends with a burger packed with panko, Worcestershire, and anchovy paste—all topped with buttery mushrooms—we have to say, thanks for taking one for the team, inpatskitchen.

Directions

1. For the mushroom topping
2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they just begin to caramelize. Add the mushrooms and salt and continue to sauté until the mushrooms get nice and brown. Add the extra olive oil if everything seems a bit dry while sautéeing. Remove and set aside.

1. For the burger
2. In a medium mixing bowl, grate the 1/2 onion on the large holes of a box grater. Add the ground turkey, egg, panko, worcestershire, anchovy paste, salt and pepper and combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
3. Form the mix into 4 patties. In a large frying pan with a lid heat the butter and oil. Place the patties in the pan and cook on both sides until done (internal temp about 165°F).
4. Divide the mushroom mixture over the patties, add a slice of provolone over each and cover the pan until the cheese melts.
5. Spread some mayo on the top half of the buns. Place each burger on the bottom half and top with the mayo topped half.
