Buffalo Wing Burgers

These Buffalo wing burgers are further proof that chicken or turkey burgers do not have to be boring or bland. These are definitely our go-to no-beef burgers. A little spiciness, tender patties, and oh, my favorite, Buffalo wing flavor. Topped with a dressing that is both sweet and spicy. Perfect!

My Favorite Turkey Burgers

I’ve already made these Buffalo wing burgers several times. We absolutely love them. So far, I have only made them with ground turkey, since we prefer the texture of ground turkey over chicken. Well, that and ground turkey has been on sale lately!

I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.

Apple Maple Turkey Burger

I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical about making this apple maple turkey burger. Sure, I’ve had a few turkey burgers in my time, but I can’t remember any of them. None of them really wowed me, to be honest. On the other hand, I can remember lots of the beef burgers I’ve had. A lot of them wowed me. I was pretty sure this wasn’t going to be a very memorable burger either. And I was wrong. Very wrong. I was wowed!

Apple Maple Turkey Burger

One Delicious Burger

The apple sauce and maple syrup really make this apple maple turkey burger fantastic. It is moist and tender and oh so flavorful. It is topped with apple wood-smoked  burger and a great sauce that I am going to use on regular beef burgers too.  So much so that I made these twice in two days.
