Since this is Memorial Day weekend, I knew I simply had to make burgers. We have had some rainy weather here so we haven't yet gotten our grill in operating order, so I decided to use the oven for these. I also have to tell you where I found great inspiration for my burgers from a post for Big Fat Bacon Sliders on The Pioneer Woman's website. My version of these full size burgers came out great. The bacon and blue cheese definitley helped to infuse great flavor into normally kind of bland ground turkey meat. Yum!!
Bacon Wrapped Turkey Burgers stuffed with Blue Cheese
Ingredients (makes 4 burgers):
1 lb Extra Lean Ground Turkey
4 Tbsp Blue Cheese crumbles
8 slices of bacon
Directions:
1. Form 8 patties thin patties with the turkey meat. Place a Tbsp blue cheese crumbles in the center of 4 of the patties. Use one of the patties without the crumbles to cover and seal in the blue cheese.
2. Wrap your 4 sealed and formed patties with two strips of bacon, so they criss cross each other.
3. Place the bacon wrapped patties on a broiler pan because these are going to drip a bit on you in the oven. Bake at 400F for 20-30 minutes.
