Even though my husband is a huge fan of beef burgers, this is one recipe I can slide past his meat-eating sensibilities. It’s moist and flavorful, the perfect burger for a man, but gentle enough for a lady. These turkey burgers (would you guess?!) have just a teensy bit of turkey and a whole load of cremini mushrooms hidden inside. They are hands down the best burgers I’ve ever had. Grill ‘em, cook ‘em in a skillet, top them with your favorite burger fixin’s. No matter how you make these suckers, they are perfect!

Ingredients:
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup refried black beans
- 2 pounds turkey
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- fresh ground pepper
Directions:
- Place mushrooms, garlic, and onion in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground. In a large skillet, melt the butter and cook the mushroom mixture until very soft, about 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Transfer the mixture into a large bowl, add the refried black beans, ground turkey, salt, and pepper, and mix all together until very well combined.
- Split the mixture into 6 even portions. Roll into balls and flatten into thick burgers. Cook in a skillet or on a barbecue grill until cooked through. Serve on ciabatta buns with your favorite fixin’s. My favorites? Avocado, fresh pico de gallo, a touch of grated cheddar jack cheese, lots of mayo, a kiss of mustard.
