TURKEY-MUSHROOM PATTY MELTS



Turkey-Mushroom Patty Melts image

When you think beyond the usual burger combos, a world of juicy flavor awaits. Here, the taste of mild ground turkey is boosted by folding umami-rich mushrooms into the patty mixture. To make it a proper melt, we griddle slices of rye bread until toasted then top them with the patties, Havarti cheese, and lemon-dressed shredded lettuce.

Provided by Rev.CCJ

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 4 Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1/4 cup sour cream
4 scallions, chopped (both white and green parts)
salt & fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons butter
8 slices muenster cheese
8 slices pumpernickel bread

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of vegetable oil, about 2 tablespoons.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with the sour cream, scallions, salt and ground black pepper.
  • Using your hand, score the meat into four, then form four thin patties about half an inch thick out of each portion, adding them to the hot pan as you shape them. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. When finished cooking, remove the patties from the pan and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
  • While the patties are cooking up, place 4 slices of bread on a clean work surface and butter one side of each piece. Return the pan that the patties were cooked in over medium heat and add in the remaining butter. Once melted, place the remaining unbuttered slices of bread in the pan, place one piece of cheese on each slice, a turkey patty, one more slice of cheese and cap each off with the four slices of buttered bread, butter side up.
  • Cook sandwiches in the pan until toasted and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side.

  • Make sure the turkey patties are cooked through before assembling the patty melts. You can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. In addition to the classic toppings of cheese and gravy, you can also add bacon, avocado, tomato, or even a fried egg.
  • Serve the patty melts hot and fresh. They're best enjoyed right out of the pan.
