Instructions

- 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.
