Ingredients Needed:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 12 ounces assorted mushrooms (such as cremini, lobster, chanterelles, and stemmed shiitakes), chopped
• 1 small shallot, finely diced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 hamburger buns, split; toasted, if desired
• Chipotle Ketchup, optional

Chipotle Ketchup:

• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 to 3 tablespoons pureed canned chipotle in adobo (depending on how spicy you prefer it)
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Wild Mushroom-Cheddar Burger?

1. Cook the Mushrooms: Heat olive oil and butter in a pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, then add shallot, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until golden. Stir in thyme and parsley, then set aside.
2. Form the Patties: Divide the ground meat into 4 portions 170g each. Shape each into a patty and press a thumbprint in the center. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Patties: Heat canola oil in a pan. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, adding cheese during the last minute. Cover to melt the cheese.
4. Assemble the Burger: Place each patty on the bottom of a bun. Top with chipotle ketchup (if using) and the mushroom mixture. Cover with the top bun and serve.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Mushrooms: The fresher the mushrooms, the better the flavor. Go for a mix of mushrooms like cremini, shiitakes, and chanterelles for a rich taste.
• Don’t Overcook the Patties: To keep the burgers juicy, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side. Overcooking can make them dry.
• Melt the Cheese Properly: Place the cheese on the patty during the last minute of cooking and cover it with a lid to melt it perfectly.
• Toast the Buns: Toasting the buns gives them a nice crunch and helps prevent them from getting soggy from the ketchup and mushrooms.
• Let the Ketchup Sit: Allow the chipotle ketchup to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors blend for a better taste.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover burger cool to room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the burger in the pan and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway, until heated through.
