FHW Recipe: Mexi Cali Bun-Less Turkey Burgers

What's for dinner tonight? How about an FHW original- go bun-less with our Mexi Cali Turkey Burgers covered in Caramelized Onion Cheese Sauce + Guacamole. Say bye -bye to the refined flour burger buns and build your burger on a salad tonight. Our tasty additions to the best Turkey burger you'll ever have are sure to help you forget all about the silly old bun. We recommend you pick our thick cut Turmeric-Cayenne BBQ Sweet Potato Fries to accompany this decadent burger.

Ingredients:
 
Bomb A$# Turkey Burger
 
1.5 lbs. organic Ground Turkey (not lean)
1 Tb. Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 ts. Low sodium Soy sauce
1 ts. Fish Sauce
Dash of Black Pepper
Dash of Red Pepper Flakes
 
Bed of Greens for bun-less burger salad- we mix it up all the time but our go to is organic fresh spinach leaves, arugula and butter lettuce.
 
Mix together all ingredients and then create 4 evenly sized patties. Grill on bbq or on stove top in cast iron pan with olive oil. Turkey burgers need to be cooked all the way thru, and depending on thickness could take 15-25 minutes.
 
Caramelized Onion Cheese Sauce
 
1/4 Onion, sliced thin
Dash of kosher salt
2 TB. Organic butter
1 cup shredded extra sharp or sharp cheddar cheese (or whatever yummy cheese you have around the house that melts good)
1 TB. Heavy cream
 
Cut yellow or white onion in 1/2, then in 1/2 again. Use 1/4th of onion- save the rest. Slice 1/4 onion thin. Caramelize onions in small sauce pan with salt and 1 TB butter on medium low heat for 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Remove onions from pan after slightly browned, soft and translucent. In same pan- without rinsing, add 1 TB butter and on low heat melt butter then throw in shredded cheese into pan. Whisk together as it melts slowly add in heavy cream. Add onions back in sauce. Continue on low simmer until burgers are ready.  Keep whisking occasionally until used. If cheese sauce solidifies, add a little more cream.
 
 
Mexi Cali Guacamole
 
4-6 Fresh Ripe Avocados
1 Roma Tomato
1/4 C. yellow onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Bundle of fresh Cilantro, rough chopped
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 ts. chili powder
Dash or 2 of your favorite hot sauce (FHW favorite- Tapatio)
 
Mash avocados, chop veggies, mix all together in a bowl. Scoop on top of cooked Turkey Burger, after smothering burger with Caramelized Onion Cheese Sauce.
