1
Preheat oven to 375.
-
2
Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat.
-
3
Add 1 tbsp olive oil.
-
4
Add diced carrot, celery, onion and thyme to skillet.
-
5
Saute about 3-4 minutes, until veggies begin to soften.
-
6
Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
-
7
Transfer to bowl and chill in refrigerator, about 10 minutes.
-
8
Once cool to touch, add ground turkey, pepper and salt (optional).
-
9
Mix well and form 5 or 6 patties.
-
10
Mixture will be soft so try making patties on a piece of plastic wrap or a plate sprayed with non-stick spray.
-
11
Reheat skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil.
-
12
Add patties to skillet (2 at a time), flipping when a nice golden brown color forms (about 5 or 6 minutes on each side).
-
13
Place burgers in oven.
-
14
While burgers are cooking, heat small skillet over medium low heat and add Frank's Red Hot.
-
15
You can also toast your favorite style hamburger bun (I like to use outdoor hamburger buns or potato buns).
-
16
When Frank's Red hot is fully heated add 2 tbsp butter.
-
17
Once all burgers are cooked, start your building.
-
18
I like to start with smashed avocado, add a piece of butter lettuce, your burger, a handful of blue cheese crumbles and the heated Frank's Red Hot.
