Buffalo Turkey Shishito Burgers

Buffalo Turkey Shishito Burgers! Give your regular buffalo burgers an extra special kick with Shishito peppers

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 lbs ground turkey breast
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 celery rib with leaves finely chopped
  • 4 Shishito peppers seeds removed and finely chopped (I used Melissa's Produce Shishito Peppers)
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese cut into small dice
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce I used Franks Red Hot
  • 12 Hawaiian Rolls
  • Lettuce and your favorite blue cheese dressing

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle a small amount of olive oil in a medium mixing bowl. Add turkey, poultry seasoning, celery, Shishito peppers, red onion and cheese. Mix and form into twelve patties. Drizzle each with EVOO and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper.
  • Heat a cast iron griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the burgers for approx. 4-5 minutes per side.
  • When the burgers are almost done, in a small skillet, melt unsalted butter. Add the hot sauce to the melted butter. Stir to combine. Be careful when adding the hot sauce, the vinegar vapors from the sauce can be irritating.
  • When the burgers are finished cooking, add burgers, one or two at a time, to the hot sauce-butter mix and turn to coat. Remove to a plate, finish coating remaining burgers.
  • Serve burgers on Hawaiian Rolls with fresh lettuce, your favorite blue cheese dressing and extra hot sauce on top!
