Turkey Monte Cristo Burgers *

Savory Cristo Toast:
4 eggs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
EVOO and butter to coat griddle
8 slices Italian bread

Burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 1/2 Tbsp capers, chopped (can go up to 3 Tbsp if you really like capers)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 1/2 Tbsp onion powder
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp EVOO
1/2 large onion, cut into large slices
6 cups fresh spinach

Preheat oven to 200.  Heat griddle over medium.  In a bowl, beat eggs with cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Drizzle the griddle with EVOO and a pat of butter.  Coat the bread in the egg mixture and cook until golden, about 3 minutes on each side.  Transfer the cooked toasts to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.

Increase the griddle heat to medium-high.  In a large bowl, combine turkey, parsley, capers, lemon zest, onion powder, garlic, salt and pepper.  Form the mixture into 4 patties.  Drizzle griddle with EVOO, add patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 6-7 minutes per side.  Drizzle the burgers with the lemon juice and divide among 4 toasts.  Add a small amount of EVOO to griddle and cook onions for 3-4 minutes.  Then add spinach to griddle; toss until wilted, then season.  Pile the spinach and onions on the burgers and top with remaining toasts.
