Blue Cheese Buffalo-Turkey Burgers

Blue Cheese Buffalo-Turkey Burgers are one of our favorite burger dinners. These sandwiches begin with a blue cheese-infused turkey burger. Then, the burger is dipped in a sweet and spicy Buffalo sauce. Next, it’s topped with cheese, arugula, onion, and tomato. Finally, the whole thing is on a buttery, brioche bun. I really like making these burgers at home, versus having them at a restaurant. Because I know that my turkey will be not undercooked and not overcooked. And I like being able to control the heat of the Buffalo sauce.

THE EQUIPMENT I USED

A Meat Thermometer- Use a meat thermometer to make sure the turkey is the right temperature.

THE INGREDIENTS I USED FOR MY BLUE CHEESE BUFFALO-TURKEY BURGERS

Turkey- I used the organic ground dark meat turkey from Rastelli’s
Cheese- You’ll need blue cheese to mix into the turkey meat for these Blue-Cheese Buffalo Turkey Burgers. You’ll also need cheddar cheese or Buffalo Wing Hot Sauce cheese.
Hot Sauce- I used Frank’s hot sauce.
Ketchup- I like Heinz’s Organic.
Honey- I like to add honey to my Buffalo sauce. I think it adds a nice sweet taste.
Brioche Buns- These are my favorite buns, but you could use any bun or roll that you like.

HOW I MADE MY BLUE CHEESE TURKEY BURGER RECIPE

First, I made the Buffalo sauce. Watch this closely to make sure it does not burn.
Next, I mixed together the ground turkey and blue cheese for my Blue Cheese Buffalo-Turkey Burgers.
Then, I grilled the brioche buns.
Then, I cooked the burgers. I used a nonstick pan to cook this blue cheese turkey burger recipe.
Finally, I assembled the burgers.

This was a very fun dinner to make. If you like blue cheese, I hope you’ll try these delicious Blue Cheese Buffalo-Turkey Burgers.

1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
½ cup minced onion

For the Burger Toppings:

4 brioche buns

4 slices red onion
4 slices cheddar cheese or Yancys Fancy Buffalo Hot Wing Sauce NY Cheddar Cheese

For the Buffalo Sauce:

4 tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions

Begin by making the Buffalo Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter, on low heat. Then, stir in the rest of the ingredients. Remove from the heat. Cover to keep warm.
Next, prepare the turkey burgers: mix the turkey with the blue cheese, onion, and a quarter cup for the Buffalo sauce. Form this mixture into four patties and cook them on medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Cook them until they are 165° inside. Brush them on both sides with the Buffalo sauce. Melt the cheese on top of each patty. Grill the buns and put the burgers on them.
To assemble the sandwiches, add the arugula, tomatoes, and red onion.
