This burger from the June issue of Rachael Ray Every Day gets its delicious flavor from Rach’s fave spring ingredients: green garlic or garlic scapes. Look for green garlic (basically baby garlic) and garlic scapes (curly green garlic shoots) at the farmers’ market. They both have a milder garlic flavor, so if you can’t find them, a few cloves of garlic will do the trick.
In a small skillet, heat the oil, two turns of the pan, over medium. Add the green garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in the parsley and mint.
Place the beef in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Mix in the grated onion with juices, the Worcestershire, Dijon, and the green garlic mixture. Form into 4 patties (thinner in the centers for even cooking).
Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high to high. Cook the patties, turning occasionally, for 8 minutes
for beef and 10 minutes for turkey. Top with the cheese during the last minute or two of cooking. Tent the skillet loosely with foil to melt the cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk
the ketchup, mayonnaise,
and balsamic drizzle for the
balsamic special sauce.
Top the bun bottoms with the cheeseburgers, lettuce, tomato, onion, balsamic special sauce, and bun tops.
