Chef's Note:
You can substitute ground turkey for chicken if you prefer or have trouble finding ground chicken. This dish makes a great appetizer or party snack simply serve with toothpicks for that perfect single bite. No additional salt is necessary for this recipe as the blue cheese will lend all the saltiness you need.
