Buffalo Turkey Burgers

Bursting with flavor, these Buffalo Turkey Burgers are loaded with sautéed veggies and seasonings then coated in buffalo sauce and topped with your favorite melted cheese.

Years ago before I started my clean eating lifestyle I would have sworn that a turkey burger was nothing more than a bland and boring something on my plate. That was until these turkey burgers flavored with buffalo sauce were introduced to me.

What makes these burgers so great and healthy is garlic, onions, carrots, celery and poultry seasoning.  And then of course dredging them in buffalo sauce and topping it off with cheese. I like sliced cheese on these but you can also use blue cheese or feta as well.

My fav’s for topping burgers are Monterey Jack or White Extra Sharp Cheddar. What’s your favorite cheese for your burgers?
