Ingredients

For the Beer-B-Q Sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 slices bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, preferably Lea & Perrins
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, preferably Bragg
  • 2 tablespoons (packed) light brown sugar
  • 1 cup lager or pale ale
  • 1 cup organic ketchup, such as Heinz
  • 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
For the Burgers
  • 2 1/4 pounds ground turkey
  • 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Sliced extra-sharp white cheddar
  • 6 sandwich-size pretzel rolls
  • Kosher or other coarse salt, for sprinkling
  • Dill pickle slices, such as Vlasic Stackers
  • 1 romaine heart, chopped
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Sliced beefsteak tomato

Yield

Serves: 6

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325°F.

 
In a small pot, heat the canola oil over medium-high. Add the bacon; cook until crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add the Worcestershire, vinegar and brown sugar; stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the beer; cook until the sauce is reduced to 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ketchup and pepper; reduce the heat to a low simmer.
 
In a large bowl, combine the turkey, mustard, parsley and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Form into 6 patties (thinner at the center for even cooking). In a large skillet, heat the EVOO over medium-high. Cook the patties, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking, add the cheese; cover to melt. Baste the patties with the sauce.
 
While the patties are cooking, brush the tops of the rolls with water; sprinkle with kosher salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake until heated through, about 3 minutes, then split.
 
Divide the patties among the roll bottoms. Add pickles, lettuce, onion, tomato (seasoned with salt and pepper) and roll tops.
