Grilled Turkey and Cranberry Burger Recipe | Perfect Grilling Combination
Everyone really loves a great burger with a delicious twist! Surprise your family and friends with the perfect grilling combination - craisins dried cranberries and turkey burgers. Pour one tablespoon olive oil into a skillet over medium heat. Add about a half cup finely chopped onion and a quarter cup finely chopped celery and cook till tender. After the pan has cooled for five minutes, stir in a half cup craisin's original dried cranberries, two tablespoons dried bread crumbs, one teaspoon dried sage, and one teaspoon salt mixed with a quarter teaspoon of black pepper. Combine the craisins mixture with one and a quarter pounds chilled lean ground turkey and mix just until blended. Moisten your hands with water and shape the meat into four patties on a plastic cutting board. Make the patties about 5 8 of an inch thick. After shaping, pop them in the freezer for 15 minutes so they'll be easier to handle when grilling. Brush preheated grill rack or broiler pan with just a bit of vegetable oil and grill the patties over medium heat. You'll know they're done when a meat thermometer inserted in the center is 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the turkey is no longer pink. Meanwhile, for a tasty topping, whisk together a quarter cup Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce and a quarter cup light mayonnaise. Serve the burgers on your favorite buns with a spoonful of the cranberry mayo and fresh crisp lettuce. Craisins dried cranberries can add an extra burst of flavor and a punch of color to almost any sweet or savory dish. Try them in your favorite recipes today!
