1. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a small skillet, add the onion and 1 clove
minced garlic. Saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Cool. 2. Combine
the onion mixture with the ground turkey, lemon peel, parsley, sage, thyme,
salt and pepper. Divide into quarters. Break the cheese slices in half
and force 2 into the center of each section of turkey. Flatten and
refrigerate until ready to use. (The cheese can also be put on top of the
burgers when cooked.) 3. Stir together the remaining tablespoon olive oil
and minced clove of garlic. Brush on one side of each bun. 4. Broil or
grill the burgers on a lightly oiled rack until no longer pink in the
center and the juices run clear. Place the buns cut side down around the
edge of the grill to toast lightly, or toast under a hot broiler. Place
each burger on a bun and serve with condiments.
