This recipe requires me to bring up the fact that I bought a breadmaker a few months ago. I have not bought a single loaf of bread since I purchased this magical machine. I love it. The whole wheat bread tastes exactlylike the stuff you buy. I love it. And I don't have to buy pizza dough anymore! I love it. Can't say it enough.
Buffalo Turkey Burgers
1/2 package of ground turkey (about 1/2 a pound, and keep in mind this is for 2 people)
1 cup of breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
1 tsp cumin
Frank's Red Hot (you're going to use "dashes" and it will vary with how much YOU want)
Enough cheese to cover the top of each burger (I recommend blue cheese or cheddar, but whatever you have or want is perfect)
Combine the turkey, 1/3 of the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and cumin with about 10-15 dashes of Frank's. Mix together completely, but not too much so that the meat will become soft and smooshy - that makes the burgers tough. Form into two separate patties, and then coat with Frank's on both sides by rubbing it on top. You don't want this so coated it's dripping, but just enough so that it is spread all over. Heat up a pan to about medium with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. You don't want too much oil so you're really frying the burgers, but just enough to brown the breadcrumbs and cook your burger.
Place the remaining bread crumbs on a small plate. Push each side of your patties into the breadcrumbs so that they're coated. The Frank's should help it adhere pretty well. You can even add more on the outside of the breadcrumbs before cooking them. It's alllllll you, baby.
Put the burgers into the pan and cook until done, about 6-8 minutes (kind of depends on how thick yours are) on each side. When you flip your burger, add your cheese on top and cover the pan.
As far as toppings go beyond this, it's up to you. Sliced celery, shredded carrots, spinach, lettuce, ranch dressing, whatever you want. Try to think of things that go well with "chicken wings" because you're working with similar flavors.
