ingredients

• For burgers

• 1⁄4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey (not "all breast meat")
• 5 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, cut into 4 half-inch-thick slices

• 1⁄4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and coarsely chopped
• 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• lettuce leaf (optional)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook onions in oil with salt and pepper in an 8-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl, add turkey, mix gently but thoroughly.
3. Turn out turkey mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and divide into 8 equal mounds. Pat 1 mound into a 4-inch patty and top with 1 slice of cheese. Put a second mound on top, patting it out to enclose cheese, pinch edges together to seal. Make 3 more burgers.
4. Grill burgers, turning once, until just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. While burgers are cooking, toast rolls.
5. To make the mayonnaise, combine all ingredients in a blender or mini food processor and puree, scraping down sides as necessary. Spread mayonnaise on toasted rolls. Dress with lettuce.
