Bunless Turkey Burger

Ingredients: 

• 1 pound lean ground turkey

• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

• 1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• ¾ teaspoon salt, divided

• ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 8 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed

• 4 tablespoons hummus

• 1 cup arugula or greens of choice

• 1 large tomato, sliced

• 8 red onion, sliced into thick rings

• 4 large pickle slices

Directions:

1. Preheat over to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Combine turkey, spinach, lemon zest, garlic powder, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into four 4-inch patties. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Brush oil all over the portobellos, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on another large rimmed baking sheet. Bake, switching positions halfway through, until the mushrooms are soft and the burgers are cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes.

4. Place each turkey patty on a mushroom cap. Top each with 1 tablespoon hummus, 1/4 cup greens, pickles, tomato and onion rings. Include your favourite toppings. Top with the remaining mushrooms.
