INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

1 oz blue cheese crumbles

2 tbsp buffalo hot sauce

0.5 tbsp ghee

1 tsp avocado oil

2 large butter lettuce leaves

0.25 cup celery

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo hot sauce and melted ghee until fully emulsified.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and finely diced celery.

• 3

  Gently fold in half of the blue cheese crumbles, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender.

• 4

  Form the turkey mixture into two thick, even patties.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 6

  Place the patties in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

  During the final minute of cooking, brush both sides of the patties generously with the buffalo-ghee mixture.

• 8

  Place each patty into a butter lettuce leaf and top with the remaining blue cheese crumbles before serving.
