Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to Low Broil.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Just before it is finished, stir in 1 1/4 cups of cheese to rice mixture and top with remaining cheese.
  • Broil in the preheated oven just until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • 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.
