Happy Easter Eve (Holy Saturday) friends! J and I went to a big Good Friday service/concert last night for, and that was just the start of our very busy weekend. Today we will be going to birthday parties for two of his great-nephews…such sweet little boys they are. Then, tomorrow we will go to Easter service at church and the to one of his sisters’ houses for lunch with the family. I love that his family is close enough that we can see them fairly often. I wish mine were closer so we could see them too. But, such is life, right??
Did I mention I’m making desserts for the Easter lunch?? Can’t wait to share a couple of those with y’all. But for now, you’ll have to settle for this burger.
I hope you all have a very blessed Easter weekend and I’ll be back next week with some delicious dessert posts!
Turkey Burgers with Creamy Gorgonzola and Chili Garlic Slaw
- 2 cups angel hair cabbage
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp sriracha or hot chili sauce
- 1 lime, juiced
For the burger patties
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

For the creamy Gorgonzola
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp salt

Preparation
- To make the chili garlic slaw, heat a large skillet over low heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the garlic and cabbage, stir to coat, and cook for about 1 minute still stirring.
- Add the chili powder, brown sugar and sriracha, stirring to combine.
- Remove the cabbage and place it in a large bowl, add the lime juice and stir again to coat. Place the bowl in the fridge until ready to serve.
- To make the burger patties, combine the ground turkey, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic cloves and green onions in a large bowl and mix until just combined.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Form the burger mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, add to the skillet and cook until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- To make the creamy Gorgonzola, combine the yogurt, 4 ounces of the Gorgonzola, oil, salt and pepper together in a bowl and stir and mash until combined.
- Place 1 burger patty onto a toasted bottom burger bun, spoon a bit of the Gorgonzola mixture on top of the patty, and top with a generous spoonful of the chili garlic slaw.
