Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 2 sliced tomato
- 1 small, sliced red onion
- 4 slices pickles
- 4 teaspoons mustard
- 4 teaspoons ketchup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground turkey, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot or the pan is preheated, add the patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the burgers have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the lettuce wraps. Rinse and dry the Romaine lettuce leaves.
Place two lettuce leaves together to form a sturdy base for each burger patty.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
Assemble each burger by placing a patty on the lettuce leaves, followed by tomato slices, red onion slices, pickle slices, and your choice of mustard and ketchup.
Wrap the lettuce leaves around the fillings, tuck in the sides, and serve immediately.
