Turkey and Mushroom Patty Melts

A variation of the old diner stand-by. Instead of beef, they use ground turkey, and sauteed mushrooms and onions, instead of grilled onions.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb ground turkey (don't use ground breast-too dry!)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•  salt and pepper, to taste
•  cooking spray
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1⁄4 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 1⁄4 cup dark beer (such as porter)
• 8  slices  rye bread
• 4  slices provolone cheese

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, worcestershire and salt and pepper. Form into 4 4-inch patties.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done.
3. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, salt, pepper, and mushrooms; sauté 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in beer; cook 30 seconds or until thick. Remove from heat; keep warm.
4. When patties are done, remove from large skillet. Wipe pan clean; heat over medium-high heat.
5. Coat 1 side of each bread slice with cooking spray. Place 4 bread slices, coated sides down, in pan. Top each with 1 patty, 1 cheese slice, and one-fourth of mushroom mixture. Top with remaining bread slices; coat with cooking spray. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned.
6. Serve with sweet potato fries or coleslaw.
