Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 tbsp butter
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to keep them from puffing up while cooking.

Step 3

Slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, wipe it clean and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the Dijon mayo by whisking together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 6

Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or on a griddle, if desired.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of Dijon mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the turkey patty with melted Swiss cheese, and some caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dish like fries, salad, or coleslaw. Enjoy your delicious Swiss Turkey Burger!
