INGREDIENTS

6.5 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

0 tsp avocado oil

0.5 tbsp blue cheese crumbles

2 tbsp buffalo hot sauce

1 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt

0.5 whole whole wheat bun

2 leaves butter lettuce

2 slices tomato

0.25 cup celery

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a bowl, gently combine the ground turkey with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a tender texture.

• 2

  Form the mixture into one large patty, making a small indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent bulging during cooking.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the patty and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

• 4

  Lower the heat and brush both sides of the patty generously with the buffalo hot sauce, allowing it to glaze and slightly caramelize for 1 minute.

• 5

  In a small ramekin, stir together the nonfat Greek yogurt and blue cheese crumbles to create a creamy, tangy spread.

• 6

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun until warm, then spread the blue cheese mixture on the top bun.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by placing the butter lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom bun, followed by the buffalo turkey patty and the sliced celery for a refreshing crunch.
