Tex-Mex Cheddar Turkey Burgers with Caramelized Onions
Yield: 4 burgers

Burgers:
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, whole, chopped
1/4 cup chipotle chiles canned in adobo, minced
1 cup grated lowfat cheddar cheese, for topping

Caramelized Onions:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup beef broth
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

For burgers: In large bowl, gently combine all ingredients except cheese, using your hands. Form into 4 patties, each 3/4-inch thick.

Lightly oil grill or a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the burgers to desired degree of doneness, at least medium, 4-6 minutes per side.

For the onions: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring often, until onions are browned, 7-10 minutes. Add broth, barbecue sauce, and vinegar. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

Top the burgers with Caramelized Onions and the cheese, wrapped inside a warm flour tortilla.

NOTES: Excellent! Served on toasted croissants. The onions/sauce is wonderfully tasty and really makes this dish.
