Ingredients
1½ lbs ground turkey
⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
1 TB Cajun seasoning
6 oz Gouda cheese, thinly sliced
1 TB Tabasco sauce
½ cup ranch dressing
11 oz seasoned curly fries (I prefer Arby’s brand), cooked according to the package
4 brioche buns
nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the ground turkey, panko bread crumbs, and Cajun seasoning. Form the meat into four equal patties. In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing and Tabasco sauce, adjusting the Tabasco sauce to taste, if desired.
Heat a large pan over medium heat. Lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the burgers 5 to 6 minutes, covering the pan for 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 3 minutes. Add the Gouda to the burgers and cover. Cook an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the turkey has cooked through. Remove the burgers from the pan. If desired, toast the brioche buns in the pan for 1 to 2 minutes, cut side down. Place the burgers on the bottom bun and top with curly fries. Drizzle over the ranch dressing and top with the top bun. Smash down, if desired. Eat! Enjoy!
