Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the ground turkey with salt and pepper. Gently form into 4 equal-sized patties. TIP: Ground turkey is leaner than beef, so avoid over-compacting the patties to keep them juicy.
2
Heat the grill pan over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
3
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt beautifully.
4
Toast the cut sides of the hamburger buns in the grill pan until golden brown and crispy.
5
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomatoes and red onion, and wash the iceberg lettuce leaves.
6
Assemble the burgers: Spread mustard on the bottom bun, top with a lettuce leaf, a cheesy turkey patty, tomato slices, red onion slices, and finally, spread ketchup on the top bun.
7
Serve the burgers hot with french fries or a fresh salad. TIP: For an extra kick, mix a little mustard and ketchup together for a flavorful condiment.
