Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the onions. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown.
Add apple cider vinegar and sugar to the onions. Stir well and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove the onion relish from heat and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a clean skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place two slices of rye bread in the skillet. Layer one slice of Swiss cheese, a turkey patty, a generous spoonful of onion relish, and another slice of Swiss cheese on top. Cover with a second slice of rye bread.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the top of the sandwich. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 sandwiches.
Serve the turkey patty melts hot and enjoy with your favorite side dish!
