Instructions
Caramelized Onions:
Slice your onions;
Heat up your pan, then add butter and olive oil, onions, and salt & pepper;
Cook it on low for 45 minutes to an hour (mixing often), until your onions are caramelized.
Turkey Meat Patties:
First, you'll want to soak your bread for a couple of minutes in milk. Once the bread is soaked, squeeze out the milk and only put the inner bread into a mixing bowl (you can skip the crust);
Then add turkey meat, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and spices into a big bowl and mix it. Be sure not to overmix the meat. Otherwise, it'll be tough. You can use a fork to do this;
If your meat is too wet, you can add a few bread crumbs, but don't overdo it. You want the burgers to be slightly wet, as they'll be juicier;
Form 4 patties and set aside.
Mustard Aioli
In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise with both mustards and black pepper. Do not add salt, as your mayonnaise, as well as your mustards, are already salty.
Assemble Burgers:
Preheat your grill to hot;
Spray your burgers with cooking oil and place onto the grill;
Cook your burgers on each side for about 5-7 minutes (depending on the thickness of your patty);
Place slices of Bayonne ham on a tin foil and place it on a grill next to the burgers; let it cook for a few minutes to your desired crispiness; remove from the grill;
Once the burgers are cooked on both sides, add some caramelized onions on top of each burger, top it with sliced brie cheese and let it melt;
Remove burgers from the grill;
You can toast your buns if that's your preference; then add mustard aioli, a leaf of lettuce, a burger with onions and cheese and top it with crispy Bayonne ham. You can add more aioli on the top bun as well. Serve and enjoy!
