Instructions
1
In a large bowl, gently mix the ground turkey, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onion until evenly combined. Avoid over-mixing.
2
Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, then sprinkle steak seasoning on both sides of each patty.
3
Cover and refrigerate the patties for at least 1 hour to firm up and flavor the meat.
4
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Once melted, add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning.
5
Add the sliced baby portobello and button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.
6
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm while you cook the burgers.
7
Heat another skillet over moderately high heat. Carefully add the patties and cook for 6-8 minutes without moving them to prevent breaking.
8
Using a spatula, carefully flip the burgers and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
9
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.
10
Toast the buns lightly on the grill or in another skillet if desired. Spread steak sauce generously on the bottom and top buns.
11
Place each melted-cheese turkey patty on the bottom bun, top generously with the sautéed mushrooms, and cover with the top bun.
