CHEDDAR-STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS
I love burgers that ooze cheese when you bite into them, but turkey burgers typically fall apart when you make them with a chunk of cheese in the center. Instead of working against the ingredients, I work with them.

Steps:
- Salsa Ranch Dip
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. (If you don't have a blender or food processor, just stir everything together in a bowl-the texture will be different but it will still be delicious.)
- Burgers and Assembly
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cheese, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Mix together with your hands until just combined-you don't want tough burgers.
- Divide the meat mixture into four portions and roll each into a ball. Place each ball on a large plate and squish it down into a flat patty. Press your thumb into the center to create a little well. This will help the burgers keep their flat shape.Spray the grill with olive oil and heat it to medium heat. Grill the patties on direct heat for 5 minutes, covered and undisturbed. Flip once, cover, and grill for another 4 to 6 minutes, until cooked through.To assemble the burgers, smear the caramelized onions on the bottom half of each roll or bun. Top with romaine and place a cooked patty on each. Add avocado slices and jalapeño rings, if using. Smear the top halves of the buns with Salsa Ranch Dip, then place them on the burgers and serve.

Steps:
- Make burgers:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook shallot in oil with salt and pepper in an 8-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Add turkey and mix gently but thoroughly.
- Turn out turkey mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and divide into 8 equal mounds. Pat 1 mound into a 4-inch patty and top with 1 piece of cheese, then put a second mound on top, patting it onto other patty to enclose cheese. Pinch edges together to seal and shape into a single patty. Make 3 more burgers in same manner.
- Heat an oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill burgers, turning over once, until just cooked through (no longer pink), 8 to 9 minutes total.
- While burgers are cooking, heat rolls on a baking sheet in oven until crusty, about 5 minutes. Transfer rolls to a rack to cool slightly.
- Make mayonnaise and assemble burgers:
- Purée tomatoes with water, vinegar, and salt in a blender or mini food processor, scraping down sides as necessary, then blend in mayonnaise.
- Cut rolls in half horizontally (if necessary) and spread cut sides with tomato mayonnaise. Serve burgers on rolls with lettuce.
