Blue Stuffed Buffalo Burger Recipes

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED BUFFALO CHICKEN BURGER

Steps:

• 1) Mix the ground chicken with green onions and garlic. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but up to 24 hours.
• 2) When you are ready to eat: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wet your hands with cool water and gather 1/8 of the chicken mixture. Shape it into a sort of nest and place one heaping tablespoon of blue cheese into the center, then cover with 1/8 more chicken and shape into a patty. Repeat with the remaining chicken. You will have 4 burgers. They can be placed back into the fridge for up to a day (in which case, turn the oven off), or cook immediately. Drizzle a scant amount of veg oil over both sides of the burgers and a light sprinkle of salt then line a baking tray with foil and bake for 15 minutes, douse both sides with Buffalo sauce and flip the burgers. Continue to bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the burgers to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Serve on soft hamburger buns with shredded lettuce and Ranch dressing. Makes 4 burgers

BLUE STUFFED BUFFALO BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Season the ground buffalo with salt and pepper; form into 8 balls. Press a cavity in each ball with your thumb pressing halfway into each ball; place a tablespoon of blue cheese into the hole and seal the meat around the cheese. Press each ball into a patty shape.
• Cook the burgers on the preheated grill until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Spread the toasted buns with mayonnaise. Place a burger patty onto each bun bottom, then place a lettuce leaf, onion rings, and tomato slice onto each sandwich. Top with the remaining buns to serve.

BUFFALO SAUCE BURGERS STUFFED WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter and whisk in hot sauce.
• Mix blue cheese and garlic in a small bowl.
• Using your hands, gently mix beef (or buffalo), celery seed, onion and 1/4 cup hot sauce mixture in a medium bowl until blended. Form into 12 patties, using a light touch; the patties should be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and no more than 1/2 inch thick.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons of cheese-garlic mixture in center of 6 patties, then top with remaining patties and press together, sealing edges.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. (Even if you aren't making these ahead of time, I think they hold together better after a little chill time).
• Heat grill to medium and oil grate.
• Grill burgers about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to taste. (I'll only eat ground beef cooked well, so I cooked a bit longer.) Brush with remaining hot sauce mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking. Toast buns if you like.
• (I couldn't think of many traditional condiments I wanted on this burger, so I just ate mine with extra buffalo sauce and lettuce).

BUFFALO & BLUE CHEESE STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Place the ground turkey in a large bowl and sprinkle a few dashes of each of the seasonings. Use your hands to mix well. Form 8 thin patties.
• Divide the blue cheese crumbles among 4 of the patties, placing them in a small pile in the center of the patty. Pour about 1/2 tablespoon of buffalo sauce on top of the blue cheese crumbles.
• Place the 4 other patties on top of the blue cheese and buffalo patties. Seal the edges completely so that the cheese and sauce doesn't leak while you are cooking.
• Heat the grill to medium high. Place the burger on the grill and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Lower the heat to medium and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the burgers are cooked thoroughly.
• Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

CHICKEN BURGERS STUFFED WITH BLUE CHEESE & BUFFALO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the burgers. Cover a platter/plate with a piece of wax or parchment paper to keep the burgers from sticking to the plate. In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, egg, and quick oats until just combined. Divide the chicken mixture in to 4 sections to make 4 burgers. From each of the chicken sections take 1/3 of the mixture and set aside, these pieces will be used to cover the filling.
• Take the larger chicken sections and form 4 patties about 1/2 thick, beware if they are too thin the filling has a larger chance of coming out while cooking. Place on the wax paper.
• Pipe or scoop 1/4 of the buffalo cheese filling onto the center of the 4 chicken patties.
• Take the remaining chicken and form each pieces into 4 smaller patties and cover over top the buffalo filling. Gently press and smooth the ground chicken together sealing in the filling.
