Preparation
In a bowl, combine ground turkey (6 oz) with garlic powder (½ tsp), onion powder (½ tsp), salt, and pepper. Mix gently and shape into one or two patties.
Heat butter (1 tsp) in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey patties for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Set aside.
In the same skillet, melt another teaspoon of butter (1 tsp) and add the sliced onions (½ small onion). Cook over medium-low heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
Add the final teaspoon of butter (1 tsp) to the skillet and sauté the mushrooms (½ cup) for 3–4 minutes until browned and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (2 Tbsp), mustard (1 tsp), sugar-free ketchup (1 tsp), dill pickle juice (½ tsp), and smoked paprika (¼ tsp) to make the special sauce.
To assemble, layer the chopped lettuce or mixed greens (1 cup) in a bowl. Top with sautéed mushrooms, turkey burger patties, and grilled onions. Drizzle generously with the special sauce and serve warm.
