Ingredients

4 servings
  • 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

  1. 1Cook the bacon using the directions on the package or the method of your choice (skillet, oven, microwave, air fryer) until brown and crispy.
  2. 2Add the ground turkey to a bowl along with the ranch seasoning mix. Using your hands, mix the ranch seasoning into the ground turkey.
  3. 3Divide the ground turkey into four equal amounts, then shape into burger patties. The meat will contract quite a bit as it cooks, so make the patties quite wide and flat (about 4.5 inches in diameter).
  4. 4Add a little cooking oil to a skillet and heat over medium. Once the skillet is hot, add the burger patties and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the burgers are browned and cooked through.
  5. 5If using cheese, add a slice of cheese to each burger, place a lid on the skillet and allow the heat to melt the cheese.
  6. 6While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato. Build the burgers using the buns, tomatoes, lettuce, cooked bacon, and mayonnaise. Enjoy!
