Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbsp rosemary
- 1 lb ground turkey
- Sea salt + pepper to taste
- 2 tsp seasoning of choice (I used TJs all purpose seasoning)
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (I used Cabot)
- 1 Tbsp + 1/4 cup good quality balsamic vinegar, divided
Assembly Ideas
- Whole wheat burger buns (really good toasted with melted cheese)
- Sliced avocado
- Sliced tomato
- Ketchup, chipotle sauce, dijon mustard
- Exta balsamic
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Sautee diced onion, garlic cloves and rosemary until softened and slightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Combine ground turkey, sea salt, pepper, seasonings, sharp cheddar, 1 Tbsp of balsamic and sauteed onion + garlic mixture until completely mixed through.
- Roll meat mixture into balls using your hands, then flatten into patties. I have found the thinner I make the patty, the more flavorful/less dry they come out.
- Heat a grill pan or bbq grill. Once heated place patties on the grill and drizzle a little balsamic over the burgers as you’re cooking on the grill pan. If you are using a bbq, dip both sides of the patties into balsamic before grilling.
- Cook about 5-6 minutes on one side, flip and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked through. Once patties are done, assemble onto buns and serve with desired toppings. We enjoyed them with toasted buns, extra cheese, avocado and extra balsamic!
Notes
Makes 6 burgers, or more if you prefer slider size.
