Move over, wings—there’s a new Buffalo-spiced star in town. Here, ground turkey patties are infused with zesty Frank’s Seasoning and scallions, then top with melty cheddar. They’re sandwiched between toasted potato buns with crispy fried onions and an optional drizzle of hot sauce for customizable heat. Of course, would it really be Buffalo-style without the blue cheese? Of course not—which is why we pair with a decadent blue cheese sauce for creamy contrast.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and mince scallions. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. • In a small bowl, combine blue cheese dressing, sour cream, and a pinch of scallions to taste. Set aside.
• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine turkey*, Frank’s Seasoning, remaining Fry Seasoning, remaining scallions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Form into two patties (four patties for 4 servings), each slightly wider than a burger bun. TIP: Wet your hands before shaping patties to prevent sticking.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-7 minutes per side. TIP: If patties begin to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium. • In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, evenly top patties with cheddar; cover pan until cheese melts.
• While patties cook, halve and toast buns.
• Spread bottom buns with a bit of blue cheese sauce. Fill buns with patties, crispy fried onions, and as much hot sauce as you like. • Divide burgers and potato wedges between plates. Serve with remaining blue cheese sauce on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
I really liked this! I haven't had a turkey burger before, this was very similar to ground beef in taste and texture only the color was different. The potatoes were crunchy on the outside and had a very smooth texture on the inside which was great! The burger itself was flavorful and delicious! The bun was tasty, the onions added that perfect crunch! Great sort of take out style meal. I really enjoyed it!
We love these turkey burgers! They were super spicy and very flavorful. We actually put our potato wedges in the air fryer for the same amount of time and temperature... They came out perfect and crunchy! We would absolutely order this one again!
We love these as an alternative to beef burgers. They are seasoned very well inside. The toppings are so good together: blue cheese sauce, hot sauce and fried onions.
Burgers were a tad too salty--I only added a pinch so think it's because the Frank's seasoning already had salt in it or the combo of salty topper, salty cheese, and patty. Otherwise delicious. Loved the blue cheese sauce and crunch from the crispy onions on top.
Generally, I love anything with Frank's sauce. The blue cheese sauce and potatoes were awesome and delicious with this meal! Only critique would be that the ground turkey meat was a strange texture, spongy. I would hesitate to get it again because of the experience with the ground turkey. Otherwise, it was all delicious.
These were hands down the best turkey burgers my husband and I have ever had. All the ingredients were fresh and the recipe was so easy to follow.
The ground turkey is delicious and is a great vehicle for the spice of this sandwich. The french fried onions add nice crunch and the blue cheese sauce is yummy!
The flavors of this burger were incredible! The heat in the burger married perfectly with the blue cheese sauce. This is a keeper!!!
I don't usually care for turkey burgers but this was delicious. I loved the franks seasoning and green onion in the burger. Everything was super easy to make and instructions were easy to follow
Perfect amount of spice! Blue cheese sauce was really delicious and paired really well with the fried onions! One of my new favorite recipes!
