Instructions
For the Blue Cheese Slaw
- Place all ingredients except for the celery and celery leaves into a bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Add the celery. Stir. Refrigerate until ready to use.
For the Burgers
- Place turkey, bread crumbs, milk, and salt into a medium bowl. Using your hands combine the mixture. Do not over-mix.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equally-sized patties. They'll be just over 5 ounces each.
- Fire up your grill for medium-high heat.
- Toast the buns if desired.
- Transfer patties to the grill and grill for 5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160 F.
- Assemble burgers by first brushing the insides of the bun tops and bottoms with the Buffalo sauce. Now is not the time to be shy with it.
- Top the bun bottom with a turkey patty. Spoon the blue cheese slaw on top.
- Add the bun top and serve... with lots of napkins!
