Thanksgiving Burgers

Thanksgiving on a bun any time of year! Use stuffing mix and cranberry sauce to turn ground turkey into an easy and delicious dinner. Serve with sweet potato fries with chipotle ketchup.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• ½ cup finely chopped celery

• 3 pounds ground turkey breast

• 1 (6 ounce) package chicken-flavored dry bread stuffing mix

• 2 eggs

• 16 hamburger buns, split

• 1 (16 ounce) can cranberry sauce

• whipped cream cheese

Directions

• Step 1

  Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

• Step 2

  Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion and celery until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

• Step 3

  Place the cooked onion and celery in a large bowl with the ground turkey, stuffing mix, and eggs; mix to thoroughly combine. Form the mixture into 16 patties. Unlike hamburger, these patties will not change shape while cooking, so make them even in size.

• Step 4

  Grill the turkey burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place each patty on a hamburger bun, and top with cranberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream cheese to serve.
