INGREDIENTS

7 oz 93% lean ground turkey

1 oz blue cheese crumbles

2 tbsp buffalo sauce

2 large butter lettuce leaves

0.25 cup red onion

0.5 cup cucumber

1 tsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the buffalo sauce.

• 2

  Gently mix with your hands until just combined, then form the mixture into one large, thick patty, pressing a small thumbprint into the center to prevent bulging.

• 3

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

• 4

  Place the turkey patty in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes without moving it to develop a deep, crispy golden-brown crust.

• 5

  Flip the patty and cook for another 5 minutes, then sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles on top and cover the pan for 1 minute to allow the cheese to soften.

• 6

  Remove the patty from the skillet and let it rest on a clean plate for 2-3 minutes to lock in the juices.

• 7

  Lay out the butter lettuce leaves and place the burger in the center, drizzling with the remaining tablespoon of buffalo sauce and topping with sliced red onion.

• 8

  Serve immediately with the sliced cucumbers on the side for a cool, hydrating balance to the spicy buffalo heat.
