These are a fun, delicious addition to any seasonal menu. They are simple, quite tasty and help you easily create a balanced meal. Serve with a side salad, on top of a salad or wrap it up with lettuce leaves — and stuff it with tomatoes, onions, avocado, etc. Are they resilient? No, but YOU are resilient!

INGREDIENTS
1 pound lean ground turkey
¼ cup bread crumbs (You could toast whole grain bread and whirl in the Cuisinart, or go with pre-made bread crumbs. Pre-made bread crumbs are higher in sodium.)
3 green onions, chopped into small pieces
¼ cup buffalo wing sauce
2 Tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
4 whole grain flatbread rolls (like Arnold’s 100-calorie) or whole wheat buns; all optional
Lettuce pieces or Boston lettuce leaves to fully wrap burgers

PREPARATION
Preheat the grill to medium heat. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, onions, buffalo wing sauce and blue crumbles, mixing well. Shape turkey mixture into 4 patties (always best to divide mixture into equal portions first). Place burgers on grill and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side. Serve on flatbread, hamburger buns, lettuce wrap or on top of salad. Makes 4 servings.
