Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to Low Broil.

02

Step

Heat oil in a large, deep oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

03

Step

Add ground turkey and cook, crumbling with a spoon until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.

04

Step

Season with salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, 3 tablespoons ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Add broth and water and bring to a boil, stirring often to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

05

Step

Stir in rice and return to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Add up to 1/4 cup additional water if needed if liquid is evaporated before rice is tender.

06

Step

Just before it is finished, stir in 1 1/4 cups of cheese to rice mixture and top with remaining cheese.

07

Step

Broil in the preheated oven just until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

08

Step

Meanwhile, for burger sauce, add remaining pepper and remaining ketchup with mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside. Serve topped with pickles, lettuce, and burger sauce.

For a richer flavor, use bone broth instead of regular beef broth.
Don't skip the burger sauce! It adds a necessary tang and moisture to the dish.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Monterey Jack or a blend of cheddar and provolone would also be delicious.
If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic powder.
