Turkey Burger Tuesday

It's Tuesday and around here that means Turkey Burgers for Two.  This simple recipe enhances the flavor of the meat and incorporates red onion into the patty to keep things nice and moist.  Try it out and you may hardly ever again ask, where's the beef?

You will need:

• 2/3 lb. fresh ground turkey
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 1 tbs. fresh thyme 
• 1 tbs. olive oil
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Preheat a grill or broiler on high heat.  Allow all ingredients to come to room temperature.  Combine ground turkey, onion, thyme and olive oil until just mixed.  Do not over-mix or the meat may become tough.  Divide the mixture into two and form into patties.  Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.  Grill or broil each side for 8-9 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170ºF.  As with any meat, allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.  Top with your favorite accompaniments and serve on a lightly toasted bun.  I like ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles and white American cheese.  Another tasty topping variation is arugula and cranberry preserves.  However you like it, Turkey Burger Tuesday is sure to please.
