Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground turkey
- 4 ounces Blue cheese crumbles
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 slices Pickles
- 1 to taste Condiments (ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place 1 ounce of blue cheese crumbles in the center of 4 of the patties. Place the other 4 patties on top of the cheese-topped patties and carefully seal the edges by pinching them together, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat for 1-2 minutes.
Cook the stuffed burgers for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, flipping carefully with a spatula. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet, grill, or toaster if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked turkey patty, a tomato slice, a pickle slice, and any condiments of your choice. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the blue cheese stuffed turkey burgers immediately and enjoy!
