Heat a grill pan to medium high on the stovetop. Cover lightly with cooking spray.
Form ground beef into four patties, sprinkling both sides with salt and pepper.
Brown both sides of patties, about 3 minutes per side. Use a spatula to break the burger to smaller chunks to continue cooking faster. Sprinkle generously with seasoning of choice for added flavor.
Meanwhile, layer chopped lettuce on a plate or in a bowl. Add turkey bacon. Squirt mustard and ketchup as desired. Dice pickle slices up if desired. Once ground beef is cooked, add to salad.
