American · Main course · 35 min total

Juicy turkey burgers paired with a tangy homemade cranberry sauce, perfect for a festive twist on a classic burger.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices red onion (optional)

Instructions

1. Make cranberry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, orange juice, maple syrup, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cranberries burst and sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Mash slightly with a fork. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until just combined. Form into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
3. Grill or pan-fry patties over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Toast buns lightly on the grill or in a skillet.
5. Assemble burgers: Place lettuce on bottom bun, add turkey patty, top with cranberry sauce and red onion slices if using. Cover with top bun.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried sage or thyme to the turkey mixture.
• The cranberry sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week.
• Serve with sweet potato fries or a side salad.
