Blue Cheese Chicken BLT Burgers Recipe

• 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken thigh meat
• 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 ounces blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola dolce, cut into 4 pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 slices cooked bacon
• 4 butter or Bibb lettuce leaves
• 4 thick slices from a red, ripe heirloom tomato
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 4 brioche hamburger buns, split and toasted

1. Preheat the grill to medium (350 degrees F), or get a grill pan hot over medium heat.
2. Combine chicken, onion, basil, and salt.
3. Divide mixture into 4 portions.
4. Form each portion into a patty around a piece of blue cheese so that the cheese is hidden.
5. Rub patties with oil.
6. Grill burgers, turning once halfway through, until cooked all the way, about 15 minutes total for the burgers and slightly less for the onions.
7. Assemble burgers using the grilled onions, bacon, lettuce, and tomato slice.
8. Finish with the bun top spread with a bit of mayonnaise.
