Serving bowl

Step 2

Prep the burgers Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt.

Step 4

Thinly slice the scallions and add them to the turkey mixture. Use your hands to mix well, then divide the meat into four thin patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Make the burger sauce/salad dressing In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt. Cut the lime in half and squeeze in the juice; stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Thinly slice the iceberg and place it in a large serving bowl.

Step 7

Cook the burgers Warm your largest nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When you flick a drop of water into it and it dances around the pan, it’s hot enough. Add the oil to the pan and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Cook as many patties at a time as you can without having them touch, for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown all over.

Step 8

When you flip the burgers, throw the buns on a baking sheet and place them in the oven to warm them up for the final 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 9

Spread the burger sauce on both sides of the bun, then add a patty to each, along with your desired toppings, including chips, if you’re into that. Throw 1/4 cup of the burger sauce and a big pinch of salt into the iceberg and toss to dress it. Serve the burgers with the iceberg (and more chips, if you like) alongside.

Step 10

(You can grill your burgers if you prefer. Cook them on medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Throw some veggies on there while you’re at it!)
