BLT Turkey Burger Clubs

DIRECTIONS

• Heat a nonstick skillet with a drizzle of oil over medium to med-high heat.
• Chop one slice of bacon and add it to the pan.
• While the bacon cooks, trim the tough green tops from the leek; halve the leek lengthwise, and thinly slice it into half-moons.
• Place the slices in a colander and rinse vigorously with running water, separating the layers to release the grit.
• Dry the leeks on a clean kitchen towel; and add them to the browned chopped bacon.
• Wilt the leeks for 2-3 minutes; then transfer them and the bacon pieces to a plate to cool.
• Return skillet to stove over low heat; add in 2 tablespoons oil.
• Put turkey in a bowl; add in grill seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes, and cooled-to-handle leeks and bacon; mix well.
• Form mixture into 2 very large patties no thicker than 1 inch (the patties will hang just off the sides of the bread once cooked).
• Increase heat under oil; add in the patties; cook for 6 minutes on each side.
• Heat a second skillet over med-high heat; add in the remaining bacon slices; cook bacon until crisp; transfer to paper-towel lined plate to drain.
• Season sliced tomatoes with salt.
• Place the sliced bread under the broiler; toast for 1 minute on each side.
• In a food processor, combine the herbed cheese, cream, and pepper.
• Build sandwiches: toasted bread slice, burger patty, herbed cheese sauce, bread, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, herbed cheese sauce, and bread.
