INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey

1 tbsp buffalo sauce

0.5 oz blue cheese crumbles

1 whole whole wheat bun

0.25 cup celery

0.25 cup carrots

0 tsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 leaf romaine lettuce

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a bowl, gently mix the ground turkey with the sea salt and black pepper until just combined.

• 2

  Form the mixture into one large, thick patty, being careful not to overwork the meat to maintain a tender texture.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Cook the turkey patty for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside is nicely browned.

• 5

  During the last minute of cooking, brush the top of the patty with the buffalo sauce and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles.

• 6

  Cover the skillet with a lid for 30-60 seconds to allow the blue cheese to soften and melt over the buffalo sauce.

• 7

  While the burger rests, finely dice the celery and shred the carrots to create a crisp topping.

• 8

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun, then assemble by placing the romaine lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the buffalo patty and the celery-carrot mixture.
