Serves: 4

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook carrot, celery, onion and garlic in hot oil for about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and reserve.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey, dill, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Form mixture into patties.
3. Heat remaining olive oil in skillet. Place burgers in hot oil and cook for about 12 minutes, turning once. Remove burgers from skillet. In their place, melt the butter, then add the hot sauce. Replace burgers and flip to make sure sauce covers patties.
4. Sprinkle each burger with blue cheese and top with a slice of Cheddar. Cover skillet and let everything stand for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Place on English muffins with lettuce and relish.
