  • Chicken 165° F |

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, cook until patties reach minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side. 

  • If using Impossible burger, cook until patties reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Roast the Fries

    Cut potatoes into 1/4"-thick fries and pat dry.

    Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes, tossing once halfway through.

    While fries roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Toast Rolls and Cook Patties

    Form ground beef into two equally-sized patties, about 5" in diameter. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add rolls to hot, dry pan, cut-side down, and toast until lightly browned, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner and transfer to a plate. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

    Add patties to hot, dry pan. Cook until lightly charred and patties reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Top patties with cheese. Cover and let melt, 1-2 minutes.
