Turkey Smashburgers
Double cheese and bacon smashed turkey burgers piled high with classic toppings of lettuce, tomato and onion, with mayo.
Ingredients
- 9 slices Bacon cut in half
- 12 slice Pepper Jack Cheese thin-sliced
- ½ cup Mayo
- 1 Beefsteak Tomato sliced
- ½ Red Onion thin-sliced
- 6 leaves Green Leaf Lettuce
- 6 Kaiser Burger Buns
- Cooking Spray
For the patties
- 2 lb Ground Turkey
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Parsely
- 1 tbsp Dried Minced Onion
- ¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
- In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add bacon. Cook until crispy and remove to a paper towel covered plate and keep warm. Reserve bacon grease in the pan.
- Preheat oven to 450degF.
- Combine ingredients for patties and form into 12 equal balls. Place two to three balls into the hot pan (with bacon grease) and use a wide flat spatula to press each down into thin patties (¼ inch thick). Cook for 3 minutes then flip and press down again. Let cook for 2 minutes then top with each with a slice of cheese and let cook another minute. Stack two patties together. Repeat with remaining balls.
- Open buns and lay them out on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. Spray buns with thin layer of cooking spray. Place in oven to toast for 5-7 minutes.
- Build the burger - smear top and bottom bun with mayo. Add double cheeseburger, then 3 pieces of bacon. Top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Place top bun and press down slightly to help hold it all together.
