Steps:
- Prepare the onion jam: Heat a large saute pan. Toss in the onion slices with the oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar and cook over medium heat until the onions are caramelized and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and if a splash of juice from the cornichon jar, if using, and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- For the burgers: Break up the meat in a medium bowl, spreading it up the sides of the bowl so that the seasoning really permeates the meat. Sprinkle with the Worcestershire and salt. Mix with your hands, but do not overmix. (The more you work the meat, the tougher the burger.) Gingerly form the meat into four round 1-inch-thick patties. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, arrange the patties in a single layer at a distance from one another. Let cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the patties and let the bottoms brown again, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the stock to the skillet and cover. Simmer until the patties are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the lid, shut off the heat under the skillet and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Let the patties rest with the heat off until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Transfers the patties to a plate or cutting board and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Reduce the remaining liquid in the skillet by half, about 5 minutes, and serve it on the side of the burgers. People can spoon this liquid over the burgers instead of or in addition to ketchup. You can also just add this reduced liquid to the onion jam to enrich the flavor.
- Assemble the burgers: Arrange the bun bottoms on a work surface. Spoon some of the onion jam on each and top with one of the patties. Top with more jam and a few slices of cornichon. Top with the bun tops.

ACTUALLY DELICIOUS TURKEY BURGERS
This is a simple and delicious recipe. After making them the first time my husband said 'no more' to beef burgers. These are really good - any cooking method may be used, and they freeze very well. The recipe can also be used for meatballs or meat loaves.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground turkey. Look for ground turkey that is at least 93% lean. This will help to keep the burgers moist and juicy.
- Don't overmix the ground turkey. Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a light touch when forming the burgers. Don't press down on the burgers too hard, or they will be dense and dry.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also help to keep them moist.
- Don't flip the burgers too often. Flipping the burgers too often can make them dry. Flip them only once, when the first side is cooked through.
- Let the burgers rest before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the burgers and will also make them easier to handle.
- Serve the burgers on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and avocado.
Conclusion:
Turkey burgers are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can make turkey burgers that are juicy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table.
