Ingredients  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.25 TBSP garlic powder
  • 1.25 TBSP onion powder
  • ground black pepper - to taste
  • 8 oz thick cut bacon
  • 1 tomato
  • 2 avocado
  • baby spinach - 5oz per 4 servings
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Place beef, turkey, salt, and spices in a bowl and mix to combine. Form into 1/2 lb or 1/3 lb patties.
  • Cook bacon in a frying pan over medium-high heat or in the oven at 400F on raised wire rack in a foil lined sheet pan for 20-25 minutes. Remove bacon from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
