Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to Low Broil. 

  2. Heat oil in a large, deep oven–proof skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add ground turkey and cook, crumbling with a spoon until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. 

  3. Season with salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, 3 tablespoons ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Add broth and water and bring to a boil, stirring often to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. 

  4. Stir in rice and return to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Add up to 1/4 cup additional water if needed if liquid is evaporated before rice is tender. 

  5. Just before it is finished, stir in 1 1/4 cups of cheese to rice mixture and top with remaining cheese.

  6. Broil in the preheated oven just until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. 

  7. Meanwhile, for burger sauce, add remaining pepper and remaining ketchup with mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside. Serve topped with pickles, lettuce, and burger sauce.
