Turkey Cacciatore Burgers On Portobello Buns Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil.
• For the portobello mushrooms: Brush the inside of the mushroom caps with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill, cap-side down, and grill, covered, until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and cook until completely soft, another 4 to 5 minutes.
• For the burgers: Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Shape each portion with your hands into a round patty, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. Sprinkle both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• Brush the patties with oil and grill, covered, until slightly charred and crusty, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook until slightly charred and crusty on the other side, the burgers are completely cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the burgers cook, toast the buns on the grill until lightly charred, 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
• Invert the mushrooms caps so that the inside is facing up. Place 1 slice of cheese inside each cap. Cover the mushrooms with the grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 until the cheese is melted.
• Place the portobello mushroom caps on the bottom buns. Top with the turkey burgers, ketchup, freshly ground black pepper and the top buns and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine meat with salt and pepper, chopped crimini mushrooms, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire, crushed red pepper flakes, cheese and cilantro. Score and form meat into 4 large patties, 1 inch thick. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil on top the patties then fry 5 or 6 minutes on each side in a hot skillet.
• Place portobello caps on a small baking sheet gill side up and drizzle extra-virgin olive oil on them.
• Roast the caps 12 minutes.
• Remove them from the oven and season them with salt and pepper.
• Turn oven off. Top each cap with a burger and 1/2 cup chopped spinach and a slice of mozzarella and place back in still-warm oven. Melt the cheese 1 minute. Transfer burgers on "bun" bottoms to plates. Top with onions and tomatoes and serve.
