Directions

1

Preheat oven broiler on high temperature (with the rack 3 inches from heat source) or grill on medium-high heat.
2

To prepare burgers, combine ground turkey, scallions, pepper, and egg, and mix well. Form into ½- to ¾-inch thick patties, and coat each lightly with olive oil.
3

Broil or grill burgers for about 7–9 minutes on each side (to a minimum internal temperature of 160 °F).
4

Combine mayonnaise and mustard to make a spread.
5

Assemble ¾ tablespoon spread, 1 ounce spinach or arugula, several slices of grilled portabella mushroom (optional), and one burger on each bun.

Tip: Try it with a side of Grilled Romaine Lettuce With Caesar Dressing.

Hint:To grill portabella mushrooms, scrape off the gills from underneath the mushroom caps. Lightly coat with olive oil, and grill or broil for 2–3 minutes on each side or until tender. Slice and set aside until burgers are ready.
