Equipment

Mixing bowl
Skillet

Ingredients

8 slices bacon $3.06
1 lb. ground turkey $3.78*
3 Tbsp ranch seasoning $0.53**
1 Tbsp cooking oil $0.04
4 slices cheese optional, $0.43
4 hamburger buns $0.76
1 tomato $0.72
4 leaves lettuce $0.55
4 Tbsp mayonnaise $0.25

Instructions

Cook the bacon using the directions on the package or the method of your choice (skillet, oven, microwave, air fryer) until brown and crispy.
Add the ground turkey to a bowl along with the ranch seasoning mix. Using your hands, mix the ranch seasoning into the ground turkey.
Divide the ground turkey into four equal amounts, then shape into burger patties. The meat will contract quite a bit as it cooks, so make the patties quite wide and flat (about 4.5 inches in diameter).
Add a little cooking oil to a skillet and heat over medium. Once the skillet is hot, add the burger patties and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the burgers are browned and cooked through.
If using cheese, add a slice of cheese to each burger, place a lid on the skillet and allow the heat to melt the cheese.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato. Build the burgers using the buns, tomatoes, lettuce, cooked bacon, and mayonnaise. Enjoy!

Notes

*You can also use ground beef, ground pork, or even ground chicken. I chose ground turkey because its light flavor doesn't compete too much with the ranch seasoning, and I prefer its texture to ground chicken. You'll want to use a fine ground meat with a little fat to keep the burgers moist and help them hold together.

**You can use store-bought or homemade ranch seasoning. If your ranch seasoning is in bulk rather than a single packet, use about 3 Tbsp.
