blue cheese
4 pieces (1-inch chunks)
olive oil
1 tablespoon

Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ground turkey breast with the poultry seasoning. Using your hands or a spatula, ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
2
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and flatten them into patties approximately 1 inch thick.
3
Place a chunk of blue cheese in the center of 4 of the patties. Cover each piece of cheese by placing a second patty on top. Seal the edges carefully to form 4 stuffed patties, ensuring none of the cheese escapes.
4
In a large skillet or griddle, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the stuffed patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Once cooked, remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest briefly. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, enhancing the flavor.
