Ingredients

Smash Sauce

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sweet relish
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice

Turkey Smash Burgers

  • 3-6 burger buns
  • 1 pound ground turkey 94% lean
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • square sheet of parchment paper about 3" x 3"
  • salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • Toppings: lettuce. tomato, pickles, onion, ketchup

Instructions

  • Make smash sauce by mixing all the smash sauce ingredents together.
  • Toast your buns and prepare the burger toppings.
  • Roll ground turkey into 6 equal-sized balls. Coat them in canola oil. This will make them easier to flip.
  • Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot add 2-4 of the turkey balls into the pan. Place the piece of parchment paper on top of the ball and smash with a spatula until the pattie is ¼ inch thick. Repeat with the other balls.
  • Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the patties for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. When there is 1 minute left, add the American cheese.
  • Transfer the patties to a plate. Repeat steps 4-5 with the remaining balls.
  • To assemble the burgers: Place two patties on the bottom half of a toasted bun, add your favorite toppings and slather secret sauce.

Notes

Canola oil is needed to make the patties easier to flip. Use canola or vegetable oil since it has a high enough smoke point.
Smash Sauce does not have ketchup, but Smash Burger puts ketchup on all their burgers.
