Turkey Burgers

So, I originally was going to make tiny turkey sliders to accompany a good beer and a football game. But, the week got away and by the time Sunday came around my challah rolls were totally moldy! On to Plan B. Turkey Burgers on Crispy English Muffins with Brie, Caramelized Onions and Arugula. (Partially inspired by my friend Steph's recipe from Bitchin In The Kitchen...love that girl:)

The following recipe is for 2 medium sized burgers.

Ingredients:

Lean Ground Turkey (I bought 1.5 lbs at the market, took enough meat out to form 2 burger patties, then put the rest back in the freezer for later.)

One Yellow Onion, sliced and cut into half moons

Use 1 tablespoons of onion and dice to put in burgers

Bread Crumbs, about 2 tablespoons (store bought or home-made)

1.5 tablespoons Dijon Mustard

Mayo

2 handfuls Arugula

4 slices Brie Cheese

Salt

Pepper

Thyme

Marsala

2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter

2 tablespoons Olive Oil

2 Orowheat Cripsy English Muffins

Start by heating the butter and olive oil in heavy, deep saute pan over medium-low heat. Once oil and butter are hot, add the onions and a bit of salt and thyme. Place lid on pan and let the onions get hot and sweaty for about 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the turkey meat, a few tablespoons of bread crumbs, salt, pepper, diced onion, thyme and Dijon in a small bowl. Let the flavors sit and marry each other for a few minutes. Drizzle the meat with a light olive oil and stir in with a fork.

Once, the onions are looking wilty and at least 10 mins has passed, take off the lid and continue cooking for another 30 minutes over low heat. Be careful not to burn the onions.

Grill up your burgers cooking a few minutes on either side. Layer brie on top of turkey.

Toast your English Muffins and spread a thin layer of mayo on the buns.

When the onions are nearly finished drizzle a bit of Marsala. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.

Assemble burgers with arugula, meat and onions.

Enjoy!
