Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 8 slices rye bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with clean hands or a spatula until well combined. Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and add another tablespoon of butter. Cook the turkey patties over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Transfer the patties to a plate and set aside.
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of rye bread. Place 4 slices, mayonnaise side down, onto a clean work surface. Layer each bread slice with a slice of Swiss cheese, a cooked turkey patty, caramelized onions, and a second piece of bread (mayonnaise side up).
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the prepared sandwiches to the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
Remove the patty melts from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Sour Cream and Onion Turkey Patty Melts!
