(Makes 1 burger)
 If
you live in Minneapolis, you're sure to know of the famous
Juicy Lucy hamburgers served at a couple of local eateries.
Alta, who cooks up all our recipes here on fitwoman.com, put
her nutrition expertise to work to lighten it up a bit and
came up with this version that's simple and tasty -- the perfect
choice for a hot, hungry summer day. You can see it on her
website First
Kitchen along with other great recipes for beginner cooks.
Enjoy!
4 ounces ground turkey
1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
(or 1 slice of cheddar or other sliced cheese)*
Salt
Pepper
1 hamburger bun
Lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced onion (optional)
 Divide
ground turkey in half to make two thin patties. Place the
crumbled blue cheese top of one patty. (The cheese should
not come out to the edge of the patty). Set the other patty
on top and pinch around the edges until it’s well sealed.
Season with salt and pepper. Place the patty on the heated
grill or skillet and grill about 4 minutes per side. Don’t
press down on the burger or the cheese will ooze out. While
cooking the patty, quickly warm or brown the buns on the grill
or griddle.
Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and condiments for your
choice.
*Note: A popular saying in Minneapolis about the Juicy Lucy is "fear the cheese." The temperature can be very hot. Please take caution.
