Ingredients
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons bottled teriyaki sauce
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
4 slices cheese
4 whole grain hamburger buns

Method
Make the basting sauce by whisking together olive oil, teriyaki sauce, garlic, ginger, thyme and pepper. Set aside. Light the grill. Brush mushroom caps with some of the basting sauce. Grill, turning and basting occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. When mushrooms are done, top with cheese slices to melt. Serve on buns with tomato, lettuce and onion.
