10.1 teaspoon kosher salt
11.1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium. To make the carmelized onions, combine the onion and oil in a 10 inch nonstick fireproof skillet, and place on grill rack. Cook the onion for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized. Remove the pan from the grill and set aside. To make the patties, combine the turkey, spinach, artichoke hearts, bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties. Brush the heated grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack and brown 3 minutes on each side. If using a charcoal grill move the burgers towards the edge of the grill rack for lower heat and cover. For a gas grill, adjust the heat to low and cover the grill. Cook until the burgers are cooked through, approximately 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 178 degrees (the burgers will reach 180 degrees as they rest). Remove the burgers from the grill and cover with foil to keep warm. Place the rolls cut side down on the outer edges for the grill to lightly toast. On each roll bottom place 6-8 spinach leaves, the burger, a tomato slice, an equal portion of caramelized onions, and 2-3 shavings of parmesan cheese. Add the roll tops and serve. Makes 6 burgers
