Ingredients
- For the Balsamic Caramelized Onions:
- 3 large onions, cut in half and then sliced
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- For the Burgers:
- 2lbs ground turkey
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- For the Toppings:
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- balsamic caramelized onions
Method
Step 1
To 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.
Step 2
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 1/3 cup of water, stirring again until there is no liquid left. Repeat this process until onions are fully cooked and caramelized. Set aside.
Step 3
To make the burgers: 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).
Step 4
Serve each tasty turkey burgers on whatever you like, such as a whole wheat bun, greens, etc., along with about 1/8th of the caramelized onions.
