INGREDIENTS

8 oz Ground turkey (93% lean)

1 tbsp Buffalo hot sauce

0.5 oz Blue cheese crumbles

0.25 cup Celery

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Onion powder

0.13 tsp Sea salt

0.13 tsp Black pepper

2 large Romaine lettuce leaves

2 slices Red onion

1 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just incorporated, taking care not to overwork the meat to ensure the burgers stay juicy.

• 3

  Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, approximately 1-inch thick, and press a small thumbprint into the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.

• 4

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

• 5

  Add the patties to the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 6

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

• 7

  During the final minute of cooking, sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles evenly over the patties and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese slightly.

• 8

  Lay the large romaine lettuce leaves on a plate to serve as the 'buns' and place one patty on each leaf.

• 9

  Top with the red onion slices and an additional dash of buffalo sauce if desired before folding the lettuce around the burger.
