Instructions
- Make the grilled onions: Slice the yellow onion thin.

Notes
Tips
- While I’m using ground turkey, these can also be made with ground chicken or even ground beef too.
- Making the grilled onions is optional, but I think they really add so much flavor to these turkey burgers!
- I don’t use any oil in the pan when cooking the burgers as my GreenPan works really well without. But, if you’re using a stainless steel pan you may want to add a little EVOO to ensure they don’t stick.
- You can also make these turkey burgers on the grill during grilling season!
- I use a sesame bun, but you can also use a whole wheat or white bun if you prefer.
