Steps:

• 1. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush the onion slices with oil and grill/saute the onions until very tender, flipping the slices halfway. The longer you cook, the sweeter the onion will taste. Take 1/4 of the onions and finely chop. Reserve the remaining onions as rings to top the burger. 2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onions, salt, pepper, ground turkey, Dijon mustard, coriander, parsley, garlic and cumin. Use your hands to mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture in 4 and shape into patties. With your fingers press down gently in the center of each patty to make a slight depression in the middle (the center of patty rises during cooking, so making a depression in middle will ensure an even patty). 3. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Brush the burger with a little bit of olive oil. When the pan is hot, grill the patties for 2 minutes. Flip the patties and grill another 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and cook until the patties are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes, depending on how thick your patties are, what protein you use and how done you like your burgers. I suggest cooking pork, turkey and chicken all the way through. 4. Serve with the burger buns, Roasted Pepper and Feta Spread and the reserved grilled onions, tofu and sprouts.
