Finely dice the raw celery to provide a hidden crunch within the patty.
In a medium bowl, combine the raw ground turkey, diced celery, buffalo sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.
Gently form the mixture into one large, even patty, ensuring you do not overwork the meat to keep it tender.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes until a deep golden crust forms.
Flip the burger and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
During the final minute of cooking, sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles over the patty and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese.
Lightly toast the whole grain bun in the same skillet or a toaster until warm and fragrant.
Assemble the burger by layering the lettuce and red onion on the bottom bun, then topping with the buffalo turkey patty and the top bun.
