• Yields: 8 burgers

ingredients

• Sauce

• 1 cup fat free sour cream
• 1 tablespoon buttermilk
• 1⁄2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄4 cup celery, chopped (use food processor for smaller pieces)
• 1⁄4 cup hot sauce (I used Franks Hot Buffalo. If you don't like heat as much as I do I would reduce this a bit)
• 1⁄2 cup reduced-fat blue cheese
• 1⁄4 cup chopped onion
• salt, pepper to taste

• Burgers

• 2 lbs ground chicken
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch seasoning
• 1⁄2 cup reduced-fat blue cheese
• 1⁄4 cup hot sauce (Franks Hot Buffalo)
• 1⁄2 cup celery, chopped (use food processor for smaller pieces)
• salt, pepper to taste
• 1⁄2 cup blue cheese, crumbles (or whatever is remaining)
• 8 whole wheat buns
• condiments (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles etc...)

directions

1. Preheat indoor/outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Spray or oil the grill. Mix all of the burger ingredients (chicken, ranch, blue cheese, hot sauce, celery, salt and pepper) and form meat mixture into 6-8 patties.
2. Cook the burgers about 5-8 minutes on each side. While burgers are grilling, assemble the sauce by mxing all of the sauce ingredients (sour cream, buttermilk, worcestershire, celery, hot sauce, blue cheese, onion salt and pepper).
3. Assemble burgers to your liking. We put down lettuce, then the burger, then topped the burger with blue cheese crumbles, a dallop of the sauce and tomatoes.
