2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/8 teaspoon salt

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1 red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split
