BLUE BIRD BURGERS




Source of Recipe


From "Burgers Every Way," by Emily Haft Bloom


List of Ingredients




3/4 pound ground chicken (preferably a mixture of white and dark meat)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs
Vegetable oil cooking spray
4 poppy seed rolls
Blue Onion Sauce
Red cabbage slaw (optional)

Recipe



Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix together ground chicken, egg, cheese and bread crumbs in a large bowl, until ingredients are evenly distributed. Form into 4 patties of equal size.

Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Pan-fry burgers over medium heat, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Do not press down on burgers with a spatula or they will become dry.

Serve burgers on poppy seed rolls and top each with 1 tablespoon Blue Onion Sauce and red cabbage slaw, if desired. Serve additional sauce on the side. Makes 4 servings.

BLUE ONION SAUCE: In a small glass bowl, whisk together 1 clove garlic, minced, 2 tablespoons chopped Vidalia OR other sweet onion, 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese, 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt and sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
