Burger - Prepare Turkey Meat Using a Food Grinder. Skip this section if using pre-ground Turkey meat.

Form Turkey into Burger Patties

Divide Turkey/Mushroom mixture into 4 equal patties. (8 ounces each). The Burgers are going to be sticky. Don't worry they will stay together. Add Olive Oil to Frying Pan and heat on High for 30 seconds
Gently place Turkey/Mushroom Burgers in a hot frying pan.
Cook burgers on high for 4 minutes. Turn the heat down on the cooktop to Medium. Continue to cook for 3 additional minutes.
Flip burgers and cook on Medium heat for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the center of the burger meat reaches at least 165°
When Burgers have reached at least 165° turn off heat. Place the Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce on top of each burger.
Cover Pan for two minutes. Check to see if the cheese is melted to the consistency you prefer. (Think Creamy Melty Gooey Yumminess!)

Garnish - All Garnish is Optional

Peel and Slice Onion to the thickness you prefer. If using Arugula or Lettuce make sure to wash it under cold running water.

Build Burger

When Burger is ready. Place Buns in the Microwave for 30 Seconds. (This is optional!) Spread Lite Mayonnaise on buns. Place the Turkey/Mushroom Burger on the bottom bun
Place 2 Pieces of the cooked bacon on each burger
Place Onion, Arugula, or Lettuce on top of Bacon.
Enjoy!!!!!!
