The Turkey Burger

                    

    Burgers and Fries, the number one cliche of what today's society heartlessly named, "Fast Food".
Ok, calm down for a second, why the insult? The only reason I would name these Burgers & Fries, "Fast Food" is because they are "Fast" to make and "Fast" to eat.
I like using Turkey instead of Beef when I can, just feels lighter on the stomach and it's simply much leaner. I served this burger with Spicy Mayo, Caramelized Onions, Sliced Avocado and Baked Fries. (Baked Fries Recipe in next post)

Generously Serves 6.

What You'll Need:
          For the Patty: 

• 1 1/2 lb Ground Turkey Thigh
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Parsley
• 4 Cloves Crushed Garlic
• 1 Tbsp Crushed Ginger
• 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
• 3 Tbsp Ketchup
• Black Pepper + Salt to Taste (Don't forget Soy Sauce and Ketchup contain Salt)
• Tad of Crushed Chili (optional)
• Oil for Pan - Or just use oven or grill.

For the Caramelized Onions:

• 3 Large Onions sliced diagonally (I like to use a combo of Golden, White and Purple Onions)
• 1 Tsp Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Oil (I use Canola)

Combine all your patty ingredients in a fitting bowl. I find that just combining the ingredients makes a perfect light burger, over mixing or pressing with your hands can make a denser+heavier burger (From personal experience). Without too much pressing, shape 1' thick 5' round patties. Heat up skillet with about a tbsp oil, once hot, place your patties with a little bit of space in between so that when you have to flip the patty, you don't injure the one next to it. Each side needs about 5-6 minutes or until nicely golden. (Make sure they are cooked thoroughly, Turkey contains salmonella when eaten raw)

Caramelized Onions-
Heat up your skillet with some oil, add your sliced onions and salt, sauté for a few minutes on a low flame, add your sugar. They are ready once they are nice and golden.
