Grilled Turkey, Portobello Mushroom, Spinach, and Swiss Cheese Burgers



Ingredients:

Multigrain, Whole Wheat Bread Slices or Buns
Ground Turkey Meat (4oz per serving)
Freshly Diced Onion (Optional, 1/2oz per serving)
Freshly Diced Jalapeño Pepper (Optional, 1/2oz per serving)
Portobello Mushroom Caps (1, approximately 3oz, per serving)
Fresh Spinach (1/2 – 1oz per serving)
Sliced Swiss Cheese (1 slice, approximately 1oz, per serving)
Regular Mustard
Valentina Salsa Picante (Optional)

Preparation:

Grilled Turkey, Portobello Mushroom, Spinach, & Swiss Cheese Burgers - Healthy Choices Daily
Start by shaping the ground turkey into patties – about 4 ounces per patty, 1 pound makes 4 patties. If you desire, mix freshly chopped onions and or jalapeño peppers in with the ground turkey before shaping the turkey patties for extra flavor and touch of spice.

Grill turkey patties and Portobello mushroom caps. The Portobello mushroom caps will cook much faster than the turkey patties, so wait until it is time to flip the turkey patties before placing the Portobello mushroom caps on the grill. Cook the turkey patties and Portobello mushroom caps evenly and make sure that the burgers are cooked thoroughly.

As the turkey patties and Portobello mushroom caps are finishing on the grill, place the inside sides of the multigrain, whole wheat bread slices or buns on the grill for just a couple of minutes until toasted.

To create the Grilled Turkey, Portobello Mushroom, Spinach, & Swiss Cheese Burgers, apply a little bit of mustard to the bottom piece of the multigrain, whole wheat bread slices or buns. For an extra kick of heat, mix a little bit of Valentina Salsa Picante in with the mustard. Add a thin layer of fresh spinach, place turkey patties over the spinach, then Portobello mushroom caps, and then slices of Swiss cheese.

Serve open to be enjoyed steak style or cover with another piece of multigrain, whole wheat bread slice or bun to serve sandwich style. This can be a standalone lunch or a complete dinner, well complimented with fresh baked sweet potatoes fries or grilled asparagus.
