Directions
-
-
Arrange burger ingredients (tomatoes, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese) in separate bowls.
-
Ask each person to select ¼ cup total of his or her choice of ingredients. (You may have leftover ingredients after this step—keep or freeze for use in other recipes!)
-
Divide ground turkey into four parts on a plate.
-
Ask each person to combine his or her ¼ cup of burger ingredients with one portion of ground turkey and mix well to form a patty ½-inch to ¾-inch thick.
-
Brown burgers on a nonstick pan coated with cooking spray for 2–3 minutes on each side. Then, transfer burgers to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and place in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes (to a minimum internal temperature of 165 °F).
-
Assemble burgers on buns, and serve.
Note:
Nutritional information may vary depending on selection of ingredients.

Each “chef” can help set out the ingredients and make his or her own burger.
