Bleu Cheese Turkey Burgers

Talk about deliciousness, just thinking about this burger makes my mouth water (Literally). This is a burger done right and amped up with the creamy, rich goodness that is Blue Cheese. It’s an easy weeknight dinner to make, or a great game time meal to have. Whatever the occasion, you’ll love it.

The recipe serves 2.

Ingredients

1 lb. Ground Turkey

1 cup Bleu Cheese crumbles

4 Large Tomato Slices (Cut them at least ¾ inch thick.) (I used the tomatoes I grew!! :) Yay! They were small so I used 3 slices each.)

2 T Sea Salt

2 T Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

2 T Garlic Powder

2 T Canola Oil

2 Wheat Kaiser Buns (You can use whatever bread you’d like, doesn't really matter to me, but these are fantastic!) (You can toast you buns if you’d like.)

2 Outer Leaves of Red Leaf Lettuce (You can use spring mix too. I like colorful lettuce. I absolutely do NOT recommend iceberg. Step your lettuce game up please!)

Sriracha Mayo**

*Cookware needed

Large Skillet

Spatula

Knife

Cutting Board

Toaster (Optional)

Paper Towel

Directions

1.)    Slice tomatoes and set aside.

2.)    Portion the ground turkey into 2 patties (I always make my fiancé’s burger patty bigger than mine, so maybe 9 oz. and 7 oz. burgers. Whatever floats your boat, but adjust the cooking time if you are making smaller burgers.)

3.)    Heat large skillet to high heat.

4.)    Season the meat with half of the seasoning on both sides. Reserve the other half of the seasonings.

5.)    While the patties are made, use ¼ cup of the bleu cheese crumbles (Divide between the 2 patties) and  sprinkle them in the middle of the patty. Being gentle, try to fold the patty over the cheese (like a taco) and close the edges, so that the cheese is in the middle of the burger. Flatten back to a patty carefully.

6.)    Sprinkle the remaining seasoning on top of the patties.

7.)    Add the oil to the skillet to heat for about 15 seconds and then add the patties. Cook on this side for about 5 minutes.

8.)    Reduce the heat to medium and flip the burgers. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

9.)    Add the remaining bleu cheese crumbles on top of the burgers in the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes.

10.) Add the Sriracha Mayo** to the buns along with the lettuce and tomato. Add burger patty and enjoy!
