Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces white button mushrooms
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup roasted garlic bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Extra oil for searing in sauté pan (about 1/4 cup)
Toppings:
- 1 small avocado

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Place mushrooms in food processor and pulse until mushrooms are finely chopped. Note: can also chop by hand.
- Place mushrooms in large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Add basil leaves and oil to food processor and pulse until a smooth paste has formed. Add more oil for a thinner consistency. Set aside.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, ground turkey, eggs, chives, ¾ cup of bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Form 8 patties and press your thumb in the middle to form a small hole. Add 1 tablespoon of basil mixture and about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese. Form the meat back over the hole to seal the burger. Repeat until all meat is formed into patties.
