Blue Cheese Stuffed Turkey and Bacon Burger

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey

1 egg

1 cup breadcrumb

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tbsp grill seasoning

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt

1 tbsp lemon juice

8 slices bacon cooked till crispy

Your favorite burger toppings



Start by mixing in a bowl the Turkey, egg, breadcrumb, oil, seasonings, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.  Combine with your hands until all Incorporated.  The oil is crucial as the turkey will dry out so be sure to mix well.  Make the mixture into 8 equal portions.



 Separate out half of the blue cheese into a small bowl.  Add the yogurt, lemon juice, and some salt and pepper and mix together.  Place in the fridge for as long as possible so the flavors meld.



Using your equal parts of meat, make 8 patties.  Take some of the remaining blue cheese, and place it in the middle of one of the patties.  Top with another patty and seal the edges so the cheese doesn't leak out.  Season the stuffed patties on both sides with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes per side.  This is poultry so you need to cook it all the way through.  It should feel firm to the touch with no give, or with a meat thermometer check that it is 175 in the middle of the burger (not the cheese).



Top the burgers with the bacon, your favorite toppings, and spread some of the dressing on the bun.  Substitute whole wheat buns for additional healthy options.  This was a real treat, and some what guilt free.  We hope you enjoy.
