Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Bacon Jam by simmering it according to your recipe until thickened, about 30-40 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into four medium-sized patties.
  3. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and melt vegan butter. Sear the turkey patties for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the patties for an additional 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Whisk together vegan mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, almond milk, cilantro, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt until smooth.
  6. Assemble your burgers by placing each turkey patty on a bun, topping with bacon jam, BBQ ranch sauce, and pickles.

Notes

Avoid smashing patties too hard when cooking to retain juiciness. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Make the bacon jam and turkey patties in advance for easier assembly.
