VIDALIA ONION PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: All ingredients should be cold. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add shortening and butter. Using a pastry blender cut in the shortening and butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Drop by drop, add cold water. Mix in with the fingertips, not with the hands as the palms will warm the dough. Continue mixing water in until the dough begins to hold together without being sticky but not crumbly. Place dough in plastic wrap. Fold over plastic wrap and press down to form a disk. This will make rolling out easier after chilling. Finish wrapping in plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Lightly spray a deep 9-inch pie pan or an 8 1/2-inch fluted flan pan. Roll out dough and place in pie plate. Return to the refrigerator until filling is ready. Makes pastry for a 9-inch single crust pie.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the filling: Brush egg wash on the inside of pie crust. Return to refrigerator until filling is ready. Over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and saute until translucent. Do not brown. Combine eggs, sour cream and flour. Add onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and pour into chilled pie crust. Top with Parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F for the last 20 minutes or until center is set.

TURKEY BURGER SLIDERS WITH VIDALIA ONION-TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Make the Vidalia onion-tomato jam: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the onions, then season with a little salt and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and soft, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half crosswise. Scoop out the tomato seeds with a spoon and discard the seeds. Chop the tomatoes. Stir the tomatoes, garlic, brown sugar, vegetable stock and vinegar into the softened onions. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions are caramelized, the tomatoes are very soft and the mixture is syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the thyme. Set aside.
• Make the turkey burger sliders: Gently combine the ground turkey, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and egg in a medium bowl. Shape the mixture into twelve 2 1/2-inch patties.
• Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the patties lightly with salt and pepper. Add the patties and cook until they are done and a thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• To assemble the sliders, place the patties on the bottoms of the Hawaiian rolls. Top with the goat cheese, some of the Vidalia onion-tomato jam, arugula and the roll tops. Pierce the cherry tomatoes with wooden toothpicks into the tops of the rolls.
