Buffalo Turkey Burgers With Blue Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• 1) Mix the ground chicken with green onions and garlic. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but up to 24 hours.
• 2) When you are ready to eat: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wet your hands with cool water and gather 1/8 of the chicken mixture. Shape it into a sort of nest and place one heaping tablespoon of blue cheese into the center, then cover with 1/8 more chicken and shape into a patty. Repeat with the remaining chicken. You will have 4 burgers. They can be placed back into the fridge for up to a day (in which case, turn the oven off), or cook immediately. Drizzle a scant amount of veg oil over both sides of the burgers and a light sprinkle of salt then line a baking tray with foil and bake for 15 minutes, douse both sides with Buffalo sauce and flip the burgers. Continue to bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the burgers to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Serve on soft hamburger buns with shredded lettuce and Ranch dressing. Makes 4 burgers

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Season the ground buffalo with salt and pepper; form into 8 balls. Press a cavity in each ball with your thumb pressing halfway into each ball; place a tablespoon of blue cheese into the hole and seal the meat around the cheese. Press each ball into a patty shape.
• Cook the burgers on the preheated grill until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Spread the toasted buns with mayonnaise. Place a burger patty onto each bun bottom, then place a lettuce leaf, onion rings, and tomato slice onto each sandwich. Top with the remaining buns to serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon hot sauce, cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties., In a large nonstick skillet, cook burgers over medium heat 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°. , Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, celery, salad dressing and remaining hot sauce. Freeze option: Place patties on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover and freeze until firm. Remove from pan and transfer to an airtight container; return to freezer. To use, cook frozen patties as directed, increasing time as necessary for a thermometer to read 165°.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Stir the sour cream, blue cheese, and Worcestershire sauce together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Mix the ground chicken, 1/4 cup hot sauce, celery salt, poultry seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper together in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• Cook the chicken burgers on the preheated grill 6 to 7 minutes until well marked. Spray the uncooked top of the burger with cooking spray, and flip the burgers over. Brush the cooked side with 1 tablespoon hot sauce, and continue cooking until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on each roll bottom. Top with a burger patty, then spoon on 2 tablespoons of blue cheese sauce, and 2 tablespoons celery. Place the top of the roll on top to finish the sandwich.

Steps:

• Combine meat with breadcrumbs, egg, hot sauce, salt & pepper. Mix well, and form into eight patties of the same size.
• Divide the blue cheese into four equal portions. Place a portion of the cheese atop one patty, then top with another patty. Fold the patty's edges together so the cheese is hidden in the center. Seal well so nothing leaks out when cooking. Repeat three more times to make four burgers in total.
• Heat the butter in a skillet of medium-high heat. Cook patties, flipping once, for about 15 minutes.
• Serve inside buns and top with more hot sauce, if desired. Maybe some sliced red onions, tomato and lettuce as well. I served mine in pitas and topped with baby arugula and hot sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the turkey, grill seasoning, hot sauce, chives, parsley and garlic. Form six patties.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with two tablespoons olive oil, two turns around the pan. Sauté the burgers about five minutes on each side, until cooked through.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook it for about 1 minute. Whisk the milk into the roux and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. When the milk comes up to a bubble and has thickened, take the pan off the heat and stir the blue cheese into the sauce in a figure-eight motion.
• To serve, place the top of the roll or a slice of rye bread on a plate, top with the burger. Serve with celery and carrot sticks and a cup of warm, blue cheese dip garnished with some chopped chives alongside. You can also drizzle some buffalo sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Prepare your outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
• Saute' the chopped onion with butter in a skillet over medium to low heat. Cook until onion begins to brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, using your hands, mix together the ground turkey, celery, garlic and buffalo wing seasoning mix, just until blended. Next, mix in the cooked onion. Shape into 6 very flat patties.
• Brush the grill rack liberally with vegetable or canola oil prior to cooking. Place burgers on hot grill; cook 5 minutes, or just until the meat loses its pink color throughout, turning over once. (Burgers should reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees F.).
• OPTIONAL: To turn up the flavor and the heat a notch, in a medium bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and melted butter. While the burgers are cooking, baste them liberally with this mixture.
• On the grill or in a toaster, lighlty toast the rolls/buns. During the last minute of cooking, add the crumbled blue cheese to each burger and cover to melt.
• To serve, place the lettuce, tomato slices and pickles on the roll/bun bottom; if desired, drizzle the hot sauce and butter mixture over the burger before serving, Cover with roll/bun tops.
• Cook's Tip: In small bowl, stir mayonnaise (1/4 cup), sour cream (1/4 cup), crumbled blue cheese (1/2 cup), vinegar (2 teaspoons), and Worcestershire (1/2 teaspoon) until blended. This blue cheese sauce makes about 3/4 cup and is a delicious accompaniment to carrot and celery sticks when serving this spicy turkey burger.
• Cook's Tip: For an added treat when toasting your rolls and buns, combine melted butter with garlic and brush on the insides prior to setting them on the hot grill.

Steps:

• Melt butter and whisk in hot sauce.
• Mix blue cheese and garlic in a small bowl.
• Using your hands, gently mix beef (or buffalo), celery seed, onion and 1/4 cup hot sauce mixture in a medium bowl until blended. Form into 12 patties, using a light touch; the patties should be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and no more than 1/2 inch thick.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons of cheese-garlic mixture in center of 6 patties, then top with remaining patties and press together, sealing edges.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. (Even if you aren't making these ahead of time, I think they hold together better after a little chill time).
• Heat grill to medium and oil grate.
• Grill burgers about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to taste. (I'll only eat ground beef cooked well, so I cooked a bit longer.) Brush with remaining hot sauce mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking. Toast buns if you like.
• (I couldn't think of many traditional condiments I wanted on this burger, so I just ate mine with extra buffalo sauce and lettuce).
