Ingredients
- •Bacon
- •Ground Turkey, 99% Lean(454g)
- •3 Tbsp ranch seasoning ($0.53**)
- •Vegetable oil(15g)
- •Cheddar Cheese(112g)
- •Bread, French Or Hoagie Roll
- •Tomato
- •Lettuce, Iceberg
- •Mayonnaise, Regular(60g)
Instructions
- 1Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and browned. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and chop into bite-sized pieces once cooled.
- 2Combine the ground turkey and bacon pieces in a bowl, mixing gently with your hands until just combined—do not overmix.
- 3Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4.5 inches in diameter and ¾ inch thick, making them slightly wider than your buns since they will shrink as they cook.
- 4Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes until shimmering, then add the burger patties in a single layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving them, until the bottom is golden brown.
- 5Flip the patties and cook for 3–4 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and no pink remains in the center. Top each patty with shredded Cheddar, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- 6While the burgers cook, slice the tomato and separate the lettuce leaves.
- 7Assemble each burger on a bun with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato slice, and one burger patty with melted cheese.
- 8Store any leftover cooked patties and components in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; assemble fresh when ready to eat.
