Ingredients
- 3/4 lb ground turkey (93/7)
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp each kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 oz sharp cheddar slices
- 2 hamburger buns
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp barbecue sauce
- 4 leaves, 1 tomato leaf lettuce and tomato slices
Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)
- Mix the turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt and pepper with a fork until just combined; the mixture should look loose, not pasty.
- Form four wide patties and press a deep thumbprint in the center of each so they cook flat instead of doming.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high and cook the patties undisturbed 5 minutes, until a dark crust forms and they release from the pan on their own.
- Flip, top with cheddar, cover, and cook 5 to 6 minutes more until the cheese slumps and the centers read 165F.
- Stir the mayonnaise and barbecue sauce together and spread it on the toasted bun tops.
- Build each burger with lettuce, tomato, the patty, and a handful of crispy onions crushed lightly over the cheese.
