Turkey-Mushroom Burgers

Ingredients:

• 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, crust removed, torn in to peices
• 8 ounces white mushrooms, wiped clean
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound lean ground turkey (the nutrient value will reflect 93/7)
• 1/4 egg substitute
• 3 tbsp chopped dill (I used dill seed (cut to 1.5 tbsp), because it was what I had)
• 1 1/2 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Place bread in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Pulse mushrooms in the food processor until finely chopped. (Unless your like me and dont realize the setting is at purree!)
3. Spray large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and liquid has evaporated. Add to the breadcrumbs and let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Preheat grill (or skillet in my case) to med-high heat.
5. Add ground turkey, egg, dill, mustard, salt and pepper to the mushroom mixture; mix well. With dampened hands, form the mixture into 8 patties (or 6 if you like them a little thicker).
6. Place on the grill or in the skillet and cook until no longer pick inside. Usually about 5-7 minutes per side.
7. Remove and place in bun with all the fixin's you desire! =)

I got the original recipe from here, but I made a few changes in order to make it a little more lo-cal. These were some of the BEST turkey burgers I have ever eaten! Hope you enjoy!!
