Ingredients

  • Caesar Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Tabasco sauce (two dashes)
  • Worcestershire sauce (two dashes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • Burgers
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck or 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
  • kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 hamburger buns, split, toasted
  • 12 romaine lettuce, heart leaves
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    To make the mayonnaise: combine the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire, and pepper in a food processor; process until smooth.
  2. 2
    Scrape into a bowl and stir in the cheese; cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours before serving so flavors can meld.
  3. 3
    To make the burgers: divide the meat into 4 equal portions (6 oz each); form each portion loosely into a 3/4 inch thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb.
  4. 4
    Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper; cook the burgers, using the oil-- heat oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer; cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey.
  5. 5
    Flip burgers over; cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare or until cooked to desired degree of doneness; cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
  6. 6
    Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and spread a few tablespoons of the Caesar mayonnaise on each burger.
  7. 7
    Top with the romaine lettuce leaves and sprinkle with the Parmesan and black pepper.
  8. 8
    Cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.
