Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Once it has been incorporated, form it into 6 equally-sized patties. In a large skillet (or two), heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the turkey burger patties to the skillet. Cook on each side for at least 7 minutes (depending on the thickness of your burger).

Once the burgers are done, toss them in a bowl of buffalo sauce. Set the burgers on a baking sheet lined with foil, place a piece of mozzarella cheese on top and put them in the oven to broil for 2 mintues. At this time, you may wish to toast the hamburger buns in the oven. I find that some people do NOT like their buns toasted! When you are ready to serve, place a small piece of lettuce on each bun, top it off with the burger and voila!
