Instructions
Bacon and Bleu Turkey Burgers
-
In medium bowl, mix your ground turkey, bacon, parsley, garlic, bleu cheese, salt, and pepper. Divide your meat and roll it into into four balls, then press into four patties. TIP: Make a bit of a shallow divot in the center of each patty to prevent them from shrinking too much.
-
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, tilting the ban and swirling the oil around to coat the pan's bottom. When the pan and oil are hot, add each patty to the pan. DO NOT SQUISH THE PATTIES. While the meat cooks, toast your rolls.
-
To cook the patties to medium, let them cook for 5 minutes before flipping them. Flip the burgers and allow them to cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust the cooking time if needed, increasing or decreasing the amount of time on each side to reach your desired doneness.
-
Assemble your burgers, adding the toppings of your choice.
Bleu Cheese Sauce
-
Add Greek yogurt, bleu cheese, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and parsley to a small bowl and whisk until mixed well.
-
Store unused sauce in covered container in a covered container for up to 4 days. Note: Sauce will separate while it sits, simply stir up before using.
