Buffalo Turkey Burgers with Blue Cheese Broccoli Slaw

Back from a short hiatus and thought it would be appropriate to share a grill recipe! Tis the season! This is a fun way to make a turkey burger not so boring....it's got a little kick but not too spicy so if you want to turn up the heat use your favorite brand of hot sauce! Another fantastic recipe from Gina at Skinnytaste.com!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli slaw
  • 1/4 cup skinny blue cheese dressing
  • 1.25 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
  • 2/3 cup grated carrots (grate in food processor) 
  • 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs 
  • 1 clove garlic, grated 
  • 1 tbsp red onion, grated
  • 1/4 cup Franks Hot Sauce
  • salt and fresh pepper
  • oil spray
  • 5 slices reduced fat cheddar
  • 5 whole wheat burger buns 
Directions: 

In a medium bowl combine broccoli slaw and skinny blue cheese dressing. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, carrots, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Makes 5 equal patties, 5.5 oz each

Heat a large skillet on high heat. When hot, lightly spray the oil. Add burgers to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low.
