Ingredients

Scale

Burger Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef or plant-based burger patties
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (natural)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Bacon & Cheese

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 6 slices plant-based cheese slices

Pizza Sauce & Garnishes

  • 1 cup natural pizza sauce
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Buns & Cooking

  • 6 soft burger buns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Burger Patties: Combine ground beef or plant-based burger mix with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well incorporated but avoid overworking. Form into evenly sized patties for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook smoked turkey bacon until crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  3. Cook the Burger Patties: Using the same skillet, add olive oil and cook patties for about 4-5 minutes per side depending on thickness. When flipping, top each patty with a slice of plant-based cheese to melt while finishing cooking.
  4. Warm the Natural Pizza Sauce: Gently heat the natural pizza sauce in a small saucepan. If desired, stir in a natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce for easier spreading. Let it simmer on low until warmed through evenly.
  5. Assemble the Pizza Burgers: Lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet or oven. Spread a generous layer of warm pizza sauce on the bottom bun, add the cheese-topped patty, then layer on the crispy smoked turkey bacon. Finish with fresh basil leaves and cap with the top bun.

Notes

  • Use room temperature patties for even cooking and juiciness.
  • Apply sauce sparingly to avoid soggy buns.
  • Toasting buns enhances flavor and texture.
  • Choose quality smoked turkey bacon for a smoky savory punch.
  • Let patties rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
