Blue Cheese Bacon burgers

It was amazing. I woke up and the sun was shining through the windows, a soft breeze moved the trees and it was almost 70 degrees!!! Holy cow...spring is here (at least today, it drops down to 50 later this week!). I must take advantage of this little window...time for grilling!!! Nick and I still had some Adercase blue cheese left from our trip to Madison, and needed to use it pronto! So we decided to make these killer turkey burgers with bits of maple bacon and garlic! 

Time to fire up the grill!!

Blue Cheese Bacon Burger

• 1 lb ground turkey or beef
• 1/2 cup crumbled high quality blue cheese
• 1/4 cup crumbled bacon (maple glazed is great for some sweet to your savory!) 
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tbs Worcestershire 
• 2 tbs chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbs Lawry's Seasoned Salt (my favorite old school spice!!)
• 4 buns (I used an "everything" bagel for some flavor)
• 4 tbs mayonnaise
• 1 tsp dill
• juice of 1/4 lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Tomatoes sliced thin

Cook 2-3 slices bacon according to directions and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine first eight ingredients. I use my hands to ensure every part is combined! Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors set.

Meanwhile, combine mayo, dill, lemon and salt and pepper and place in fridge for same time.

Fire up the grill and get ready for some tasty burgers!!

Shape turkey into 4 thick patties. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and place on grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping half way through, until cooked to your liking. Simultaneously, toast the buns, spread with 1 tbs dill spread, top with sliced tomatoes and viola! Delicious burgers full of flavor!!

I served these with some grilled asparagus and fries! Perfect meal for a warm evening!
Enjoy!

Happy Eating!
