Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 small sweet potato (6 to 8 ounces)
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion (about 1/2 a small onion)
1/4 cup finely chopped celery (about 1 small stalk)
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic (about 1 medium clove)
1 pound ground turkey thighs or 85% lean pre-packaged ground turkey
1/3 pound loose pork breakfast or sage sausage
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 soft potato rolls such as Martin's
Cranberry-apple relish
All-purpose or Turkey gravy
Fresh Spinach
Fried Onions
Type of fire: Direct
Grill heat: medium-high

Steps:

  • Using the tines of a fork, poke holes in potato all over. Place potato on a plate and microwave on high until a paring knife can be inserted in middle of potato with no resistance, 9 to 12 minutes, checking and flipping the potato every 3 minutes. Alternatively, place potato in 425°F oven and cook until a paring knife can be inserted in middle of potato with no resistance, about 1 hour. Split potato open and allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a spoon, scoop out flesh in a small bowl, discard skin.
  • Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in sage, thyme, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place turkey, sausage, 1/4 cup sweet potato flesh, and vegetable mixture in a medium bowl and mix with hands until incorporated. Form mixture into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over entire surface of charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Grill burgers over direct heat until an instant read thermometer reads at least 145°F in the center of burger, but no more than 165°F.
  • Lightly toast potato rolls on grill, about 30 seconds. Transfer to plate or tray and top each bun with a burger, cranberry-apple relish, gravy, spinach, and fried onions. Serve immediately. This Recipe Appears In How to Make the Best Thanksgiving Turkey Burgers

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup prepared stuffing
1/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (or Wensleydale cheese with cranberries, if available)
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
1 egg, lightly beaten
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 1/2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
fresh lettuce, to serve
4 fresh baked hamburger buns, warmed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, prepared stuffing, cheese, dried cranberries, and egg (add salt and pepper, if needed). Mix thoroughly.
  • Divide into four equal portions, and shape into four patties.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the patties until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, mayonnaise and cranberry sauce.
  • Spread some cranberry mayonnaise mixture on the inside of the warmed buns.
  • Assemble your burgers with the lettuce and top patties with additional cran-mayo, as desired.
  • Enjoy! Goes nicely with a side salad or veggies and sweet-potato fries.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground turkey: For the best flavor and texture, use a dark meat turkey. It has more fat and flavor than white meat turkey.
  • Season the turkey burgers well: Don't be afraid to use a lot of seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper go well with turkey burgers. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or oregano.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle: This will help prevent the turkey burgers from sticking and ensure they cook evenly.
  • Cook the turkey burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Flip the turkey burgers only once: Flipping them too much can make them dry and tough.
  • Don't overcook the turkey burgers: They're done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute and make them more tender.

Conclusion:

Thanksgiving-flavored turkey burgers are a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of Thanksgiving dinner all year long. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these tasty burgers that are perfect for a quick and easy meal. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give these Thanksgiving-flavored turkey burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
