Turkey Burger Supreme

Mariken's Note:

I don't eat beef and haven't since 1990, I feel I have spent a lot of time finding out what makes a great TURKEY burger. I made this one recently and I loved it.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 6.0 burgers

• 1 onion, sliced thinly in to rings (medium)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
• 1/2 onion, finely diced (medium)
• 3 -4 pieces garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (Sriracha is what I use)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper, fresh ground
• 1 1/2-2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon (fresh is best)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 6 whole wheat rolls (pick something to your own taste) or 6 brown rolls (pick something to your own taste)
• tomato (optional)
• 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
• coleslaw (optional)

Directions:

1. Sauté onion rings in olive oil until soft and slightly brown (15-20 minute over medium heat) stirring occasionally.
2. combine turkey, 1/3 of the garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, diced onion, bread crumbs, hot sauce, salt, pepper and fresh tarragon in a bowl and mix well. Form 6 patties with the mixture making sure to make them rather flat (not like balls but like hamburger patties).
3. Cook the patties for 7 minute per side. over medium heat (this is an estimate of time it depends on how thick you make them).
4. Preheat broiler if you have one otherwise use the oven or a toaster oven.
5. In a ceramic container (I use a mug so I can hold it by the handle) put remaining garlic and butter. Microwave until butter is melted. (depending on the microwave about a minute). Remove it from the microwave and stir.
6. Spoon garlic and butter mixture over both sides of the rolls. Make sure to spread around the pieces of garlic.
7. Place the rolls (open) under the broiler to toast (1-2 minutes). If you are using a regular oven or a toaster oven it may take longer.
8. Place cheese on burger for 1 minute before removing from heat.
9. Now build your burger, the cheddar, tomato and coleslaw are optional, but I think that they make the burger extra yummy.
