As many of you might know, I’m a big fan of grilling. Today we’re making Blue Cheese Burgers topped with a sticky, sweet and spicy Jalapeño Jam!
You can use either ground beef or turkey for this recipe. Since my wife doesn’t eat red meat, we usually use ground turkey. And to make it a little more fun, we made them mini size for some awesome turkey burger sliders!
To make this recipe for blue cheese burgers, you’ll first need to make a batch of jalapeño jam, which serves as the topping and main condiment.
After the burgers are grilled to your liking, we add a little bit of blue cheese to the top. When melted, it tastes really awesome with the jalapeño jam.
This recipe was inspired by a dish we enjoyed at Pacific Blues Cafe in Yountville. Serve this with a Zinfandel wine or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Watch the video on how it’s made, and print the recipe below!
