INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

0.5 oz blue cheese crumbles

0.5 whole whole wheat burger bun

2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt

1 tbsp buffalo hot sauce

1 leaf romaine lettuce

2 slice tomato

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.13 tsp sea salt

0.13 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until just mixed.

• 2

  Form the turkey mixture into one large, thick patty, pressing a slight indentation into the center with your thumb to prevent bulging.

• 3

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

• 4

  Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 5

  While the burger is cooking, whisk together the Greek yogurt and buffalo hot sauce in a small bowl until smooth.

• 6

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the oven or a toaster until the edges are golden and crisp.

• 7

  Spread half of the buffalo-yogurt sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bun.

• 8

  Place the cooked turkey patty on top of the sauce, then sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles directly onto the warm patty so they begin to soften.

• 9

  Layer the romaine lettuce and tomato slices over the cheese.

• 10

  Spread the remaining buffalo sauce on the top bun and close the burger before serving immediately.
