Ingredients
Scale
Gather these ingredients to make your Turkey Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs:
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8–10 biscuits)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
- Optional: Pickles, lettuce, or mustard for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- Cook the Turkey Bacon: Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, crumble, and set aside.
- Cook the Ground Turkey: In the same skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the Bacon and Onion: Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon and chopped onion. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Mix in the Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Set aside.
Assemble the Bombs:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit into a round shape using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Fill the Dough: Place a generous spoonful of the turkey bacon mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal the bomb.
- Place on a Baking Sheet: Arrange the sealed bombs on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake and Serve:
- Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the tops of the bombs with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake the bombs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let the bombs cool slightly before serving. If desired, serve with pickles, mustard, or a side of lettuce for added cheeseburger flavor.
