Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3  tablespoons  crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4  cup  dry breadcrumbs
  • 1  teaspoon  Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's)
  • 1/4  teaspoon  paprika
  • 1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 3/4  pound  ground round
  • 1/4  pound  ground turkey breast
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Prepare grill.

Combine cheeses; set aside.

Combine breadcrumbs and next 5 ingredients (breadcrumbs through turkey). Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side. Sprinkle burgers evenly with cheese mixture. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until burgers are done and cheese melts.

Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun; top each serving with 1/4 cup lettuce, 3 tablespoons onions, and top half of bun.
