Chef Joeys Organic Chicken Mushroom Burger Recipes

MUSHROOM VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the hot oil and season with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Cook and stir mushroom mixture until mushrooms have given up their juice and the juice has almost evaporated, about 10 minutes. Transfer cooked mushrooms to a cutting board and chop into small chunks with a knife.
• Transfer mushrooms to a large bowl. Mix in rolled oats and bread crumbs; taste for salt and black pepper and add more to taste. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into the mixture, followed by eggs. Let mixture stand for the crumbs to soak up excess liquid, about 15 minutes. (At this point you can refrigerate the mixture to cook later if desired.) Moisten hands with a little vegetable oil or water, pick up about 1/4 cup of mixture, and form into burgers.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and pan-fry burgers until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.

CHICKEN MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and wine or stock and simmer until the pan is completely dry, about 7 minutes. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• Combine the cooled mushroom mixture, ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, basil, salt and some pepper in a large bowl. Blend well and then form into 4 patties. Cook the patties in a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Or cook on the grill, or roast in a 425 degree F oven, until cooked through, about 12 minutes.)
• Cut the tomato into 4 thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Top each tomato slice with 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan. Split the 4 rolls, spread with softened butter and arrange cut-side up on the baking sheet with the tomatoes. Broil until the buns are toasted and the cheese is slightly melted, keeping a careful watch to prevent burning.
• Spread one side of the toasted buns with Dijon mustard before assembling the burgers and topping with lettuce.

DOUBLE-STACK MUSHROOM AND CHICKEN CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Pulse mushrooms with ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. (Alternatively, finely chop mushrooms by hand, then toss with salt in a medium bowl and let sit 2 minutes.) Transfer mushrooms to a clean kitchen towel, gather ends together, and wring over bowl to remove as much moisture as possible. Reserve liquid for another use.
• Mix mushrooms and chicken in a large bowl with your hands until well combined. Divide mixture into 8 balls and gently form into patties about ¼" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Prepare a grill for high heat; lightly oil grate. Drizzle onion with oil and season with salt. Grill on cooler edges of grill, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and charred, about 8 minutes. Transfer onion to a platter.
• Season tops of patties with salt and pepper. Place, seasoned side down, on grate and season second side with salt and pepper. Grill until edges are browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and top with cheese. Grill until patties are cooked through and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Transfer patties to platter with onion.
• Grill buns, cut side down, until lightly charred, about 30 seconds. Spread cut sides of bottom buns with mayonnaise and top buns with mustard. Layer pickles, grilled onion, 2 patties, and lettuce on bottom buns, then close up burgers.

CHICKEN-MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Put the dried mushrooms in a bowl, and cover with hot water.
• Cut Parmesan into chunks; put it in container of food processor with garlic; process until grated (if Parmesan is already grated, just pulse a couple of times).
• Add the pepper, salt and chicken or turkey and pulse the machine on and off until the mixture is chopped but not pureed.
• Squeeze excess water from mushrooms, but do not wring them completely dry, and add to the machine. Pulse two or three more times, until mixture is more or less combined but, again, not pureed.
• Put olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and turn heat to medium. Wait a couple of minutes, then shape chicken mixture into 8 small burgerlike cakes. Cook 3 minutes a side, or until nicely browned. Do not overcook; when burgers are firm, they are done. Serve hot or at room temperature.

CHEF JOEY'S ORGANIC CHICKEN & MUSHROOM BURGER

Steps:

• Spray your barbecue with oil if you're using a gas grill. Set it to high.
• Remove the stems from the mushrooms and discard. Chop one cup mushrooms fine. You can use a variety of mushrooms here. I used Baby Bella and White Buttons.
• In a small saucepan cook the chopped mushrooms and garlic in 1/2 cup veggie broth for about 5 minutes or until tender.
• Stir in the bulgar. Return to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. You might need to add more broth, its up to you. Once done set aside and leave uncovered to cool.
• In the meantime I combined the ground chicken, garlic chives, Worcestershire sauce and pepper in a big bowl. Mix well.
• Add the mushroom bulgar mix that you cooked on the stove to the chicken mixture. Let it sit for a few minutes.
• On a plate covered with some waxed paper, form the patties. I got 4 good sized ones out of this. I sprayed each side with a little oil. This will ensure they don't stick to the grill.
• Place the patties on the bottom part of the grill. Place the red onion on the top art of the grill.
• Turn the barbecue down to medium, close the lid and allow the burgers to cook for about 6 minutes on one side and 6 on the other.
• Keep an eye on this for the last 6 minutes as it may need less time. In any case check the burger to make sure there isn't any pink inside.
• while the burgers are grilling chop the rest of the mushrooms up and cook in the remaining 1/4 cup veggie broth for a few minutes.
• Assemble the burgers and serve with the grilled onion as well as the mushrooms you prepared with the soup broth. This would also be good with your favourite condiments.
• Bon Appetit!
