Burger Ingredients

Toppings

French Fries

Method

Preparing the Burger

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey or Angus beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (73.8°C) for turkey or 160°F (71°C) for beef. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 5

    Slice the Vegetables

    Wash the tomato and red onion. Slice the tomato into rounds and the red onion into thin rings.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water, remove any wilted leaves, and pat dry with a paper towel.

Cooking the French Fries

  1. 7

    Cook the Fries

    Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the frozen french fries package. Spread the fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with vegetable oil, and season with salt. Bake until golden and crispy, according to package instructions.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 8

    Build the Burger

    To assemble the burgers, place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with tomato slices, red onion rings, and lettuce leaves. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 9

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the assembled burgers hot with a side of crispy french fries.
