If you love Buffalo wings, you’ll enjoy the flavor of these easy Buffalo Turkey Burgers with hot sauce and blue cheese cooked right in!
There seem to be trends in the food world like cake pops, kale chips, and Nutella recipes. Right now caprese seems to be the hotness, and I don’t know what else. If I did know, maybe I’d be a more successful blogger! I’m never up on fashion trends, so why should I do any better with food trends?
Case in point, are Buffalo recipes over? No, not the animal buffalo. I’m talking about the hot sauce kind. I don’t think I ever made Buffalo anything until I started using Pinterest towards the end of 2012. Then I found Cook Lisa Cook’s Loaded Buffalo and Chicken Casserole recipe, and everything changed! (Seriously, you have to try that recipe if you haven’t already. SO GOOD.)
My mom is crazy about buffalo wings, but I’m not much of a wing person. I’ll eat a few if you put them in front of me (as is the case with most everything), but they are so greasy and messy! I only like the drumstick kind because I at least understand how to eat those. The other ones with the two little bones and meat in the middle hardly seem worth the trouble. Maybe I should get in on the boneless buffalo wings trend. Are those just pieces of chicken? Or, I’ll stick to buffalo chicken wraps and these burgers, which are both easier to eat all around.
I hope everyone’s not tired of Buffalo recipes yet because I’m just getting started! Now where did I put that bottle of hot sauce…

I love these so much! I only used 1/2 tsp of salt and it was plenty. I love anything buffalo and I love turkey burgers. I don’t add cheese to turkey burgers but I love cheese on regular burgers. Unless, its a Greek turkey burger, then I mix feta in the patties. I’ve made these twice now, thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Do the nutrition facts include the buns? If so I’ll probably do without to save on calories 🙂
Thanks for this AWESOME recipe! These are a great dinner or workweek lunch.
Question though: mine seem to be halfway cooked at around 2.5 minutes on one side, so I flip them (total cook time of 5-6 minutes tops). Should I be doing 7 per side, even still?
Thanks!
Hi, Barbara! Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear that you like my recipe 🙂 The cook time will vary based on how thick your patties are and how hot your pan is. Just cook them until they are done in the center, however long that takes for yours 🙂 Have a good weekend!
My husband and I LOVE this recipe!! He doesn’t like blue or feta cheese, so we used shredded cheddar instead and they always turn out delicious!!!!
Thank you so much, Jessi!! I’m glad you found a way to make them that you both like. xo
I have made these countless times now! I can’t make burgers any other way! My girls aren’t fans of blue cheese so I subbed feta. Thanks so much for the easy,yet extremely flavorful way to make turkey burgers!!
Give it a shot! You’ll love it! I also use panko crumbs in place of bread crumbs, only because that’s what I always have. Thanks again for the awesome recipe!!
Oh thank you, Gena!! This made my night! Truth be told, I’m a much bigger fan of feta than blue cheese, so I bet I’d like your version even better. Have a good weekend! xo
Made this for dinner tonight – AMAZING. Will definitely be a regular household dish 🙂
Wow, thank you, Erin! So happy you enjoyed it!
omg! So yummy. Flavorful. Highly recommend this recipe.
Thank you, Tina! I really appreciate it!
its my first time coming across your blog & I just had to try these. So many difficult recipes but this one was bomb. I used ‘Sweet baby rays buffalo sauce’ and 93% lean turkey beef. It was so moist & delicious I didn’t include buns (totally didn’t need anything else!) but I needed a bit more protein so I whipped up some Chobani Greek yogurt with cilantro and a cut up jalapeño for 6 more grams of protein. Seriously, SO. DELICOUS.

Hi, Stephanie. Thank you so much for this sweet comment! I’m really glad you liked the recipe, and your yogurt sauce on top sounds delicious. I usually skip the bun these days too because I had to give up wheat, and gluten-free buns aren’t very good!
