Ingredients
3 large onions (any kind will do, but I usually use white or red), cut in half and then sliced
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 lbs lean ground turkey
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 teaspoon (3 large cloves) of garlic, minced
1 Tbs dried thyme
8 slices provolone cheese
balsamic caramelized onions
whatever you want to put it on: whole wheat bun, english muffin, pita, greens, etc..
Method
MAKE THE BALSAMIC CARAMELIZED ONIONS:
- Put your sliced onions and vinegar in a large skillet with a tight fitting lid. If you don't have one you can use a pot instead, but the process may take a bit longer. Cover and cook over medium heat about 20 minutes.
- Take off the lid and continue to cook, stirring every few minutes, until there is no liquid left. Once this happens, the onions will start to caramelize. You'll then add ⅓ cup of water, stirring again until there is no liquid left. Repeat this process until onions are fully cooked and caramelized. Set aside.
- Mix together all ingredients, form into 8 burger patties. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure it's nice and hot before adding your burgers or they may stick. You can also cook these in a cast iron skillet. Either way, using medium-high heat, they should take about 7 minutes on each side. Flip only once to get the juiciest burgers and cook until the burgers reach 165 degrees or if you don't have a thermometer, until they're hot and no longer pink on the inside. Put a slice of provolone on each one and close the lid until melted (this will only take a minute or so).
- Serve each tasty turkey burgers on whatever you like, such as a whole wheat bun, english muffin, greens, etc., along with about ⅛th of the caramelized onions.
