1 bunch scallions, cut into 4 pieces
2 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms
1-1/4 pounds ground turkey breast
1 large egg or alternative
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
salt to taste
2 cup red onion slices, thin
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 head red leaf lettuce
4 fresh bakery rolls or buns
Prepare grill (or broiler). Place scallions in a food processor; pulse until chopped, about 10 pulses. Add mushrooms and pulse until chopped; about 10 pulses. Add turkey, egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and 2/3 of the salt; pulse until combined; about 30 seconds.
Divide mixture into equal parts. Shape into burgers.
Combine red onions with sugar, vinegar, and remaining salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to combine. Set aside to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Place burgers on grill or under broiler until golden-brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve burgers with washed lettuce, marinated red onions, and mayonnaise on a toasted bakery roll. If desired, stir some pesto into your favorite mayonnaise to create a pesto mayonnaise spread.
