How to Make All Canadian Turkey Cheeseburger

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, bell pepper, ketchup, mustard, salt, and thyme. Avoid overmixing.
  2. Gently form the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Do not overwork the meat.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. 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).
  5. Sprinkle each patty evenly with cheese.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  7. Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
  8. 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!
