Turkey Burger on Portobello Bun

Serves 4

Ingredients

8 portobello mushrooms, stemmed and cleaned

1 tablespoon olive oil 20 ounces extra-lean ground turkey

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced fine

½ red onion, medium dice

1 red bell pepper, medium dice

1 large tomato, medium dice

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

½ cup fat-free yogurt

1 teaspoon extra fine capers, drained

4 cornichons, chopped fine

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped rough



Instructions

Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium high heat.

Rub the portobellos lightly with the olive oil and season with black pepper. Place on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until tender and cooked through. Remove the mushrooms from the grill to a plate lined with paper towels to catch any excess moisture.

In a large mixing bowl combine the turkey, thyme, and garlic and mix well to combine. Portion the turkey into four 5-ounce patties about ¾ inch thick.

Grill the turkey patties for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165F in the center of the patties. Remove burgers from the grill and let rest for 4 minutes.

Mix the red onion, bell pepper, and tomato in a medium mixing bowl. Add the red wine vinegar and mix well, season with black pepper.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, capers, cornichons, and parsley and mix well.

To serve, place a Portobello mushroom with the stem side up on a serving plate. Place a burger on top of the mushroom and top with the vegetable mixture followed by a spoonful of the yogurt sauce. Top with another Portobello, stem side down.

Repeat with the remaining four burgers, and serve immediately.
