Bleu Cheese & Mushroom Turkey Burgers

So much to chat about today! Can I just say first I'm sore, weeding flower beds all morning and then a 3 mile walk with little man really used some muscles that haven't seen day light since last fall. Wait...I was pregnant last fall....okay, they haven't seen daylight in a long, long time. Anyone have any good stretches for hamstrings?

Now on to business. Don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY! One reader will win a copy of the cookbook, Cupcake Heaven, by Susannah Blake. You have until tomorrow at noon - hurry up!

So remember the other night when I made Inside Out Buffalo Hot Wings? Well, I had bleu cheese left over, so I needed to come up with some way to use it. I already had turkey burgers on the grill planned for this week, so well you know where this is going...

Bleu Cheese & Mushroom Stuffed Turkey Burgers!!!

I will honestly say it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long, long time. And much healthier! Trust me, even if you are not a bleu cheese or mushroom fan, you will still eat these. Those flavors don't overpower, they just somehow make the burger have tons of taste and extra juice!
Bleu Cheese & Mushroom Turkey Burgers
1 lb. ground turkey
1 c. crumbled bleu cheese
1 c. diced fresh mushrooms
salt
pepper

Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix gently with hands. Divide into 4 sections and flatten into patties. It will make four mid-sized burgers. If grilling on an outside grill make sure to spray the grill with non-stick spray, as these babies will want to stick! Cook 8-10 minutes a side, not flipping the first time until the meat pulls away easily from the grill.

My toppings of choice? Homemade focaccia roll, sliced tomato, dill pickle relish, mustard and ketchup. Yum!
You need to put these on your weekly dinner menu. No pressure. I'm just saying.

A quick recap - enter my GIVEAWAY, try these burgers, and don't forget about my Mom Blogging Contest, still time to vote!
