How to Make All Canadian Turkey Cheeseburger
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, bell pepper, ketchup, mustard, salt, and thyme. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently form the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Do not overwork the meat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the turkey patties to the skillet and cook for 7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Sprinkle each patty evenly with cheese.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
- Top each patty with a tomato slice and lettuce leaf. Serve immediately on a toasted burger bun.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
