Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Burgers

by Robin Miller(1)

read reviews (1)

Since ground turkey breast is super-lean, it partners well with fattier foods. Smoky bacon adds incredible flavor, as does the creamy blue cheese sauce. Since the flavors are so intense, I like to serve these burgers on whole wheat or whole grain buns. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as fried onions, lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. Serves four.

ground turkey poultry seasoning bacon more more

Cooking spray
1-1/4 lb. ground turkey breast
1-1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
8 slices regular bacon or turkey bacon
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tsp. chopped fresh chives
4 hamburger buns, preferably whole wheat

Coat a stove-top griddle or large skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat.

In a large bowl, combine the turkey and poultry seasoning until thoroughly mixed, then shape into 4 patties, each about 1 inch thick. Wrap two slices of bacon around each burger, covering the outer edge (secure with a wooden toothpick if necessary). Place the burgers on the hot griddle and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, blue cheese, and chives. Place burgers on buns and top with the blue cheese sauce.
