Ingredients

This recipe was designed for 4 servings. Ingredient amounts can be adjusted proportionally, but cooking times and steps remain the same. Note that some recipes may not scale perfectly.

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons ketchup, divided
• 2 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup rice
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
• Chopped dill pickles and lettuce, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to Low Broil.
2. In a large, deep, oven-proof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and stir constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the ground turkey (or beef) to the skillet. Crumble it with a spoon and cook until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
4. Season the meat with salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, garlic powder, 3 tablespoons of ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
5. Pour in the beef broth and water, bring to a boil, and stir frequently to lift any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6. Stir in the rice and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. If the liquid evaporates before the rice is done, add up to 1/4 cup additional water.
7. When the rice is just about ready, fold 1 1/4 cups of shredded cheese into the mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and broil in the preheated oven until melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
8. Let the skillet rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Meanwhile, prepare the burger sauce: In a small bowl, mix the remaining pepper, remaining ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard until smooth.
10. Serve the cheesy turkey and rice topped with pickles, lettuce, and a generous drizzle of burger sauce.
