Kicking off  the unofficial start of grilling season with burgers.
Ground turkey would make a fine substitute for beef in these Southwest-style burgers.


Makes 2 servings + extra sauce  
2 WW pts for cheeseburger + 1 WW pts / Tbsp. sauce

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Barefoot Contessa's BBQ sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce

1/2 tsp. Montreal Steak seasoning
1/2-inch-thick onion slices
Cooking spray
1/2 poblano chiles
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 thin slices American cheese

  1. Whisk mayonnaise and barbecue sauce in small bowl to blend: Cover and chill.
  2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). 
  3. Thread the onion slices on a metal skewer horizontally.
  4. Coat the onion slices and chile lightly with cooking spray. 
  5. Transfer onions and chile to barbecue
  6. Grill onions until softened and browned, about 5 minutes per side. 
  7. Remove skewers from onions. Chop onions; transfer to small bowl. 
  8. Char chiles until blackened; Place in plastic bag for about 10 minutes before peeling, seeding and chopping
  9. Add chopped chiles to the onions; Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  10. Season the beef patties with the Montreal Steak Seasoning.
  11. Grill burgers until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Top each burger with 2 cheese slices during last minute of cooking.
