Cheddar Turkey Burgers With Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large shallot, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
4 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 kaiser rolls
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, drained and minced
Mayonnaise
1/4 cup roasted red peppers packed in oil, drained
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Accompaniments
1 cup arugula

Preparation

Cook shallot in oil with salt and pepper over moderate heat until golden, (2 to 3 minutes) then transfer to a bowl. Add turkey and minced red pepper and mix gently but thoroughly.
Divide turkey into 8 equal mounds. Pat 1 mound into a 4-inch patty and top with 1 ounce of cheese, then put a second mound on top, patting it onto the other patty to seal and shape into a single patty.
Grill burgers until no longer pink (about 10 minutes total).
Toast rolls.
To make the mayonnaise: Puree the roasted red peppers with water, vinegar and salt in a blender, then blend in the mayonnaise.
Cut the rolls in half horizontally (if necessary) and spread cut sides with roasted red pepper mayonnaise. Serve burgers on rolls with arugula.
