Directions

1. Caramelize onions

3. Cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally until soft and sweet.
4. Patties
5. Weigh meat into 3 oz balls*.
6. Heat pan, then smash them flat, season with salt, pepper and some garlic powder, and place in hot pan for a few minutes per side. (We prefer a pan instead of the grill since ground turkey can be so soft.)
7. Top with 10 g blue cheese and cover so it melts a little. It's not the most melty cheese but if you're a blue cheese lover, the reduced fat still has all the flay-vuh!!

10. Top bottom bun with burger, 2 tbs caramelized onion, tomato, a slice of bacon broken in half, and arugula.
11. Spread top bun with fig butter and enjoy!
