- Preheat barbecue for medium heat and lightly oil the cooking grate.
- Beat the egg and onion together in a mixing bowl. Add the turkey, Italian breadcrumbs, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix until evenly combined and form into 4 burgers. Press each burger into the panko crumbs and set aside.
- Cook the turkey burgers on the preheated barbecue until no longer pink in the centre and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read at least 74 degrees C. While the burgers are cooking, brush the mushrooms with olive oil and cook on the barbecue along with the bacon. Just before the turkey burgers are done, top with the bacon and the Gouda cheese. Cook until the cheese melts.
- Spread the burger buns with mustard and mayonnaise. Place a turkey burger onto each bottom bun and top with the portabello mushroom slices. Sandwich with the remaining bun halves and serve.

Delicious. I forgot the panko crumbs and used turkey bacon. This was really wonderful... used my indoor grill pan to make - 22 Dec 2013
This burger is simple to make yet loaded with flavor and has a gourmet taste. We had surprise dinner guests and I happen to have all of the ingredients in my pantry. The recipe is too good not to share! - 27 Jun 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Rainy outside so I broiled instead of grilled, used Havarti cheese instead of Gouda and they still came out well. My only critique would be the nutrition info. Wow...over 800 calories and 53 grams of fat for 1 burger. I was surprised... - 16 Oct 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
