Gruyere Mushroom Turkey Burger

Gruyere mushroom turkey burgers are moist and flavorful. You won't miss your all beef burgers after you try this leaner burger.

I usually cook beef burgers, because we just prefer the taste to leaner meats.  I do buy grass fed organic beef if it's available.  I recently found the perfect way to prepare turkey burgers that everyone in my family loves.  Turkey is a leaner meat than beef meaning that turkey is lower in fat and calories.  Turkey is a bit more challenging to work with because of the low-fat content.  You need to add ingredients like egg and breadcrumbs (or some other binder) to help the turkey burgers stay together.  I also find turkey less flavorful, so I need to jazz it up a bit.

Turkey burgers with gruyere and mushrooms are so tasty and moist.  This recipe was a winner with my son.  I expected him to not eat the turkey burgers because of the mushrooms in the recipe however, I diced them so fine he never noticed.  I still have not told him he ate mushrooms and I have made them multiple times.  What he doesn't know will not hurt him, right?!
