Turkey Burger With Roasted Poblano and Onions

Ingredients:

1 poblano chile

4 t. vegetable oil

1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise

coarse salt and pepper

1 1/4 lbs turkey, ground

4 slices sharp cheddar cheese

2 t. butter, room temperature

4 buns, split

Directions:

Over a gas flame or under the broiler, roast chile until charred, about 10 minutes, turning frequently. Place in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let chile steam for 20 minutes.

Rub chile with a paper towel to remove skin. Remove seeds and stem.

Slice chile into strips and return to bowl.

Heat oil in a large skillet and cook onions, seasoning with salt and pepper, until soft and translucent about 10 minutes. Add onion to bowl with chile and stir to combine.

Form ground turkey into four 4-inch wide patties and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over med-high heat. Add 2 t. vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Working in batches, cook burgers 2 minutes. Flip, top each with cheese and cook until cooked through, about 4 minutes more.

Meanwhile heat broiler. Butter inside of buns and place on a baking sheet buttered side up. Toast under a broiler. Place burgers on buns and top with onion and chile mixture.

Makes 4 servings. Total time 50 minutes.

Verdict:

I think these are yummy. The poblano gives the mixture a little kick, not a lot. I think these are a nice switch up from regular burgers.
