Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

In a large skillet, heat the oil, one turn of the pan, over medium to medium-high. Crisp the bacon bits, 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, then add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes more. Add the sugar and vinegar; stir again and remove from heat. Let cool.

In a large bowl, season the turkey lightly with salt and aggressively with pepper. Add the parsley, Worcestershire, the cooled bacon mixture and the pan drippings. Stir to combine then form 4 patties that are thinner at the center for even cooking. Reheat the skillet over medium-high. Add the burgers and cook, flipping once, 12 minutes. Top each slice of cheese during the last 1 or 2 minutes of cooking.

Slather each roll bottom with mustard and top with a burger, sauerkraut, pickles and roll top. Serve with potato chips.
