Ingredients
For the Burgers
  • 1 lb. ground turkey, chicken, or sausage
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
For the Burger Bowls
  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup chopped red onion
  • ½ cup chopped pickles
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Other toppings: Caramelized onions, other cheese, sauteed mushrooms, onion rings, avocado, etc.
  • Frozen waffle fries
  • Garlic salt
For the Burger Sauce
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. ketchup
  • 2 tbsp. mustard
  • 2 tbsp. pickle brine (from a jar of store-bought pickles)
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • A few dashes of hot sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven and spread the waffle fries on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic salt. Cook according to package directions.
  2. If using ground turkey or chicken, heat some olive oil in a skillet. Ground beef has enough fat that you don't need olive oil for cooking. Brown the meat, cooking into pieces as it cooks. Add the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Make your burger sauce: whisk together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Chop your lettuce and halve your tomatoes before assembling your bowls. Add the lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and any other burger toppings you want to use to a bowl. Top with half of the cooked meat and add some fries on the side. Drizzle with the burger sauce and enjoy!
