Instructions
- First, make caramelized onions. Add sliced onions and butter to large skillet over medium heat.

- Remove from skillet. Make garlic aioli and set aside.
- Assemble burgers. Place turkey burger on iceberg lettuce. Top burger with a layer of garlic aioli and caramelized onions. Place iceberg lettuce on top if desired.
Notes
- Be patient with caramelized onions. Low and slow is the best way to cook them.
- Stir onions every few minutes to prevent burning.
- Burgers can be grilled if desired.
- Turkey burgers are done cooking when their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
