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 ground beef, cook until patties reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Form Patties

    Core tomato and cut into 1/2" rounds.

    In a mixing bowl, combine mustard (to taste), mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. water, and a pinch of salt. Set aside. Kids want to help? With supervision, have them help prepare the sauce.

    Mix turkey, steak seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper in another mixing bowl until completely combined. Form meat mixture into 4 equally-sized patties, about 5" across.

  2. 2

    Toast the Buns

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Working in batches, add rolls, cut-side down, to hot, dry pan. Toast until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

    Transfer buns to a plate. Keep pan over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil and patties to hot pan. Cook until turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-8 minutes per side.

    Evenly top patties with half the cheese (reserve remaining for pasta). Cover until melted, 60-90 seconds.

    Remove from burner. Transfer patties to another plate.

    While patties cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make Mac & Cheese and Finish Dish

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add creme base, remaining cheese, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 cup water, and ranch seasoning to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add pasta. Stir occasionally until heated through, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
