BUFFALO TURKEY CHEESEBURGER WITH BLUE CHEESE BROCCOLI SLAW

Steps:

• 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.
• Cook on one side until browned 4-5 minutes, then flip.
• Cook another 4 minutes or until burgers are cooked all the way through (keep heat medium-low to prevent burning); top with cheese and place on a toasted burger buns topped with broccoli slaw.
• If grilling, clean grill well before cooking and spray with oil spray to prevent sticking.

GREEK TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 420°F.
• Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together thoroughly.
• Scoop out a large fistful of meat, roll it into a ball, then flatten it to form a patty around 1 ½ inches thick. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 5 large patties of equal size.
• Once the patties are formed, use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the middle of each patty to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook.
• Set a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. When the skillet is hot, add the patties.
• Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are brown and seared, then flip the patties over.
• Cook for an additional minute, then place the entire skillet in the oven to cook until the internal temperature is 165°F, 9 to 11 minutes.
• You can also bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Enjoy these as a burger with a toasted whole wheat bun, butter lettuce, cucumber slices, thin red onion slices (optional), sliced tomato, and a little Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Or pair a patty with salad, rice, quinoa, or even roasted vegetables!

INSIDE OUT TURKEY CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Set grill to medium heat. Clean and oil the grates.
• Fold each slice of cheese into quarters to create 4 short stacks.
• Divide the ground turkey into 8 equal balls then flatten into 1/4 inch thick patties.
• Place a stack of cheese in the center of 4 patties and top with the remaining 4 patties. Pinch the edges to seal, then push the up the sides so they are an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
• Place patties and oiled grill and cover, cook about 6 minutes per side over medium heat, or until the center is cooked through. Transfer to buns with toppings and be sure to let it cool before biting into the center so you don't burn your mouth.
