INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

0.5 oz blue cheese crumbles

1 tbsp buffalo sauce

0 tsp avocado oil

0.5 whole whole wheat bun

1 leaf 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 medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

  Gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat, and form into one large, thick patty.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes on the first side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the burger and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

  During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles over the patty and cover the pan briefly to help the cheese soften.

• 7

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the skillet juices or a separate toaster.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the buffalo turkey patty, and top with thinly sliced celery for a fresh crunch.
