I have told you many times that I grew up on a dirt road with family as neighbors. I played with my cousins daily, who were my best friends. I have not lived near them in years, but my cousin Melissa and I talk regularly. When we aren’t talking, we are texting. I do not have a sister, but I feel the relationship would be like ours.
Like our mothers before us, we share recipes constantly. She is a great cook but likes to keep things simple, and the older I get, the more I agree.
I recently told her about a recipe my daughter gave me when she was in college. I remember making it quite often back then, and I had a craving for it again. But unfortunately, Savannah nor I could find the recipe.
To my surprise, Melissa stumbled across it over the weekend! I was so delighted that I made it the same day. Honestly, you really can’t go wrong dousing food in buffalo sauce.
These Buffalo Turkey Burgers are so easy and sure to please. You can serve these burgers up with or without buns. They are delicious, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and blue cheese crumbles. Serve with a side of Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing.
