New England Turkey Burger
Photo: Randy Mayor; Stylist: Cindy Barr
Caramelized onions that have simmered in hoppy Sam Adams beer top our New England Turkey Burger while shaved Vermont Cheddar adds tang and richness to the meat.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil; swirl. Add onion; cook 7 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add beer; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat. Simmer 20 minutes or until onion is golden and liquid almost evaporates; stir occasionally. Cool.
Step 2
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Step 3
Remove 1/4 cup onion mixture from pan; finely chop. Combine chopped onion mixture and turkey. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions; gently shape each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Press a nickel-sized indentation in center of each patty. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes. Turn patties; grill 3 minutes. Top with cheese; grill 1 minute or until cheese melts and turkey is done.
Step 4
Combine mayonnaise and mustard. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise mixture on bottom half of each bun; top each with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tomato slice, and 1 patty. Divide onion mixture evenly among servings; top with top halves of buns.

Not bad, not great, thought they sounded interesting, but don't think I'll make again.

Yum! After reading the previous reviews, I added onion powder, garlic salt, and cracked black pepper to the turkey before forming the patties. I also seasoned the onions with salt and pepper. We used Dubliner cheddar. Everyone loved it.

Good burger, but could use more cheese and onion flavor as other users have noted.

Pretty good overall. I also added more cheese, but otherwise I made it as described. The burgers themselves were pretty bland, but assembled, the whole thing was good. I'd make it again.

A basic, solid burger recipe. The beer-caramelized onions are delicious, and the Vermont white cheddar pairs well. I do think the amount of cheese and mayo/mustard called for in the recipe is ridiculously stingy - less than 1/2 oz reduced fat cheese per burger? That's not even enough to taste. So I upped the cheese and sauce and left out the olive oil when cooking the onions to make up for it. If I make these again, I think I'll incorporate more of the onion mixture into the actual burger patties.
