Feta Mushroom Burgers
I got this recipe from my son-in-law and I tweaked it to make it healthier. The burgers are so quick to whip up on the grill on busy nights. —Dolores Block, Frankenmuth, Michigan
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 3 italian turkey sausage links (4 ounces each), casings removed
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 6 tablespoons crumbled feta or blue cheese
- 6 whole wheat hamburger buns or sourdough rolls, split
- 10 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
Directions
- Combine first 4 ingredients; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into six 1/2-in.-thick patties. Mix vinegar and oil; brush over mushrooms.
- Place burgers, mushrooms and onion on an oiled grill rack over medium heat. Grill covered until a thermometer inserted in burgers reads 160° and mushrooms and onion are tender, 4-6 minutes per side.
- Fill mushroom caps with cheese; grill, covered, until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Grill buns, cut side down, until toasted, 30-60 seconds. Serve burgers on buns; top with mushrooms, basil and onion.
