Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.25 cup Buffalo sauce
- 0.33 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 green onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 0.25 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, Buffalo sauce, panko breadcrumbs, blue cheese crumbles, minced green onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Once hot, place the burger patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer.
While the burgers cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom of each bun, followed by a cooked turkey patty. Add a slice of tomato and drizzle with ranch dressing for added flavor. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve hot and enjoy your spicy Buffalo Turkey Burgers!
