A note about serious food allergies

"Juicy Lucy is my delight," the Grateful Dead once sang. (Or not; you'll have to Google to know for sure.) This Juicy Lucy is our delight, a take on the classic Minnesota burger preparation. Smoky, delicate Gouda is stuffed into a burger, which is joined by BBQ sauce and crispy fried onions. Macaroni salad served on the side, like a classic picnic, a day on a Minnesotan lake, or a parking lot before the Dead show. (Kids, ask your parents or grandparents.) Tip: When making patties, form a crater in bottom patty for cheese to rest in. This allows space around the edges for the top patty to form a good, tight seal. A tight seal is key for ensuring the cheese remains inside burger while cooking.

Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as ground turkey in Steps 2 and 5, cooking burgers until heated through, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as ground turkey in Steps 2 and 5, cooking until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Cook Pasta and Prepare Ingredients

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 7-9 minutes.

    Drain pasta in a colander, shaking off excess water. Rinse pasta with cold water to cool down. Set aside. Reserve pot; no need to wipe clean.

    While pasta cooks, quarter cheese slice.

    Trim ends off celery and cut into 1/4" dice.

  2. 2

    Form the Burgers

    Combine ground turkey and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Form into four equally-sized patties.

    Divide cheese between two patties. Place remaining patties on cheese-topped patties and seal edges by pinching lightly. A tight seal helps cheese stay in patties while cooking.

  3. 3

    Make the Macaroni Salad

    Return pasta to reserved pot and add celery, mayonnaise, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until coated. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add buns to hot, dry pan, cut side down. Toast until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove buns from pan. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Cook Burgers and Finish Dish

    Place burgers in hot, dry pan. Cook until browned and burgers reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side, covering pan once burgers are flipped.

    Cheese may leak from burgers. Don't worry, they're still delicious! Remove from burner.

    Coarsely crush crispy onions.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, smearing bottom bun with BBQ sauce and topping with burgers, pickles, crushed crispy onions, and top bun. Bon appétit!
