Wheat germ adds a nuttiness that complements the turkey and spices. For more spicy heat, use Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup finely chopped maui or other sweet onion
1/3 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast
cooking spray
4 ounces extrasharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
6 (1/2-inch-thick) slices maui or other sweet onion
6 (2-ounce) kaiser rolls, split
6 tablespoons chipotle-poblano ketchup
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
3. Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes. Turn patties over; grill 2 minutes. Divide cheese evenly over patties; grill an additional 5 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165°. Remove from grill; let stand 5 minutes.
4. Place onion slices on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until browned and tender.
5. Place rolls, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each roll; top each serving with 1 onion slice, 1 tablespoon Chipotle-Poblano Ketchup, and top half of roll.
