Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for drizzling

1 package (1 1/3 pounds) ground turkey breast

1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (half a palmful)

1 tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning (a palmful)

2 garlic cloves, chopped

4 scallions, finely chopped

1 celery rib from the heart, with greens, finely chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s Red Hot

Crusty rolls, split

1 cup sour cream, reduced-fat sour cream, or Ranch dressing

1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Leaf lettuce

Preparation

Step 1
Place a healthy drizzle of oil in a mixing bowl. Add the turkey, poultry seasoning, grill seasoning, garlic, scallions, and celery. Mix the burgers and form into 4 1-inch-thick patties.
Step 2
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the burgers for 6 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Wipe the pan clean and reduce the heat to low. Melt the butter in the pan. Add the hot sauce to the melted butter. Return the patties to the skillet and turn to coat in the hot sauce–butter mixture. Place the burgers on bun bottoms.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream or Ranch dressing with the blue cheese crumbles and season with salt and pepper. Top the burgers with lettuce and blue cheese sauce, then set the bun tops in place.

I’ve made other versions of this—with chicken breast and Buffalo-fied salads—but i think this is the tastiest takeoff on wing so far!
