Turkey and Portobello "Burgers"

I was looking around for things to do with ground turkey because we got some at Costco, and turkey there comes as 4 containers packaged together. So we have enough ground turkey to last for a while! I came across as recipe for Mediterranean Style Burgers with Caper Yogurt Sauce and Portobello on the Jennie-O website (self-proclaimed "Turkey Store), but I didn't care for some of it, so I was planning on changing some of the spices and the sauce. Turns out I ended up changing more than that because when I went to cook dinner Wednesday, the middle of the pack of ground turkey was still frozen! Oops! But it all worked out ok in the end, and we enjoyed a very tasty dinner and will definitely put this recipe on the "Keep" list!

Ingredients
"Burger"
12 Medium sized portobello mushrooms
1 20 oz Package ground turkey
2 T Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 Red onion, diced
1/2 Red pepper, diced
2 Cloves of garlic, minced fine
Salt
Pepper
Dill (dried)
Parsley (dried)

Sauce
12 oz Greek yogurt
2 T Yellow mustard
2 T Honey mustard
2 T Balsamic vinegar
Salt
Pepper
Dill

Directions
Heat olive oil large skillet and saute the onion, red pepper, and garlic with a pinch of salt. Add the turkey to the skillet along with a little black pepper and dill and parsley to taste and cook through.

Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside, returning the skillet to medium heat. Brush mushrooms with extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook the mushrooms in the skillet until they just begin to soften.

To make the sauce, whisk together yogurt, mustards, vinegar, and seasonings in a small mixing bowl

To serve, arrange 3 mushrooms on a plate. Top with 1/4 of the turkey mixture, then sauce. Enjoy!
