A recent Covey Rise share had some onions in it. And by some, I mean a lot. I always have onions on hand so I wanted to use these fresh ones up so I would not have a backlog. I had some ground turkey in the fridge and had a hankering for grilling. How about turkey burgers with caramelized onions? Well that sounded like a great idea! I was going to make the onions in the crock pot like I am wont to do, but this recipe had an easy pan one with some great flavoring of balsamic vinegar. Why the heck not?
Well this was just delicious and perfect for this time of year when it is grilling appropriate. Have them on a nice Hawaiian roll for extra flavor. I had mine without a bun because I am a low carb lady who loves depriving herself, lol. It was really good like that. This would work for beef or chicken as well. What are your favorite turkey burger toppings? Full recipe to follow the montage.

Turkey Burgers with Balsamic Caramelized Onions and Mozzarella
1 tbsp. of butter
3 large onions, cut in half and then sliced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Burgers:
2 lbs ground turkey
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
2 tsp (3 large cloves) of garlic, minced
1 Tbs dried thyme
1 egg
For topping:
Shredded mozzarella cheese
balsamic caramelized onions
Put your sliced onions and vinegar in a large skillet with a tight fitting lid. 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 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.
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 burgers or they may stick. Cook for about 7 minutes and then flip and cook until the burgers reach 165 degrees or until 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 turkey burger on whatever vessel you like, with about 1/8th of the caramelized onions. I just had them plain and they were delightful.
Happy Cooking!
