Cheesy Turkey Burger with Ranch
These Cheesy Turkey Burger with Ranch are extra crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Slather with ranch dressing for another level of deliciousness!
Can you believe we are heading into the end of August already? By now I am ready for it. Not only are the kids heading back to school but it also is the beginning of Fall which is hands down my favorite time of year. And what better way to kick it off? By celebrating my birthday!
So this Mitten Movie Night I am kicking off my birthday weekend (yes I said weekend!) with a burger that I came up with over the Summer, a cheesy turkey burger smothered in ranch.
What beer pairs well with Cheesy Turkey Burger with Ranch?
The beer: Beach Cruiser from Latitude 42.
This week we are actually planning on taking our projector outside by the pool and watch a movie. We’ve been wanting to do it but have had to wait for it to get darker earlier. Finally, I think we’re good to go out around 9 pm but the weather has been cooler here so we will see how long it lasts.
How to make Cheesy Turkey Burger with Ranch:
For the burger mix everything together in a bowl and make 4 patties. I love to cook my burgers in a cast iron skillet but a regular skillet will work just as well. Add the oil and butter to the pan on medium heat and get it melted together.
Once the pan is well and heated place in burgers making sure not to let them touch. Cook 5 minutes then flip and cook another 5 minutes. Ten minutes should do the check but as always check to make sure it is cooked thoroughly through.
Recently I made these Crispy Dill Chicken Sandwiches from Yellow Bliss Road. The dressing was so good! The secret ingredient I think was dill pickle juice in it.
Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch, and pickle juice.
Since the burgers are so crispy I did not toast the buns like I normally love to do.
Slice up some lettuce and tomato then add pickles. Slather on the ranch.
And here you are….

I had a chicken sandwich with a similar ranch sauce on it, and it was delicious, so I know this will be wonderful, too. I can’t wait to try this. I already have turkey burgers in the freezer.

I bet they would. I do love veggie & bean burgers, seems like I don’t miss the meat at all. So satisfying.

That’s always the issue with turkey burgers – making sure they’re moist and flavorful. Sounds like you solved that!
And I agree about the cast iron pan…
