ingredients

cooking spray
1 lb extra lean ground sirloin (bison) or 1 lb ground buffalo meat (bison)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces gorgonzola (4 inches cubes) or 4 ounces any blue cheese (4 1-inch cubes)
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
¹⁄₄ cup shredded cucumber
2 teaspoons choopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

directions

Coat a large grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium heat.
In a large bowl, combine sirloin, salt and black pepper. Shape mixture into 4 equal balls. Press 1 cube of Gorgonzola cheese into center of each ball, covering cheese completely with meat. Shape balls into patties, each about 1" thick.
Add burgers to hot pan and cook 5-6 minutes perside, until cooked through (less for medium-rare meat).
Meanwhile, mix next five ingredients well in a small bowl. Place burgers on rolls and spoon 2 tbsp yogurt sauce over each burger. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
