- 2 slices of crispy turkey bacon
- 1 slice of American cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Equipment

- Chef’s knife

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the turkey Bacon: Cook turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2. Cook the Patty: Season the beef patty with salt and pepper. Cook in the same skillet until desired doneness. Top with cheese and let melt.
3. Assemble the Burger: Slice the donuts horizontally. Place the beef patty on the bottom half of one donut, add turkey bacon, and finally top with the other half of the donut.
Tips & Troubleshooting
Avoid Sogginess: Ensure the turkey bacon is crispy to add texture and contrast to the moist donut.
Variations
