For the Turkey Burgers:

  • 1 lb ground turkey 85/15
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise for moisture
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard adds a little tang
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking

For the Garlic Butter Mushrooms:

  • 8 oz mushrooms baby bella, cremini, or white, cleaned and halved if large
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder adds depth
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or thyme chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

Instructions

For the Turkey Burgers:

  • Make the patties: In a bowl, mix ground turkey with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, Parmesan, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Shape into patties.
  • Cook: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  • Melt the cheese: Add cheese in the last minute of cooking and cover the pan to help it melt.
  • Toast the buns: Lightly toast brioche or ciabatta buns for added texture.

For the Garlic Butter Mushrooms:

  • Heat pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sauté mushrooms: Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes (this helps them brown).
  • Stir and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  • Add garlic & butter: Reduce heat to medium, add butter, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika.
  • Stir until the butter coats the mushrooms, cooking for 2 more minutes.
  • Finish & serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan.
  • Serve the turkey burger topped with garlic butter mushrooms for a delicious, hearty meal! Enjoy!

Notes

Meal Prep Tip: You can prepare the turkey burger patties ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just cook them fresh when ready to serve. The garlic butter mushrooms can also be made in advance and reheated when needed.
