Description

Thanksgiving Stuffed Burger with Cranberry Drizzle blends turkey, stuffing, and sweet cranberry sauce for a festive, flavorful holiday-inspired burger.


Ingredients

Scale

Burger Patties

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • ½ cup stuffing mix
  • ¼ cup chopped celery
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cranberry Drizzle

  • ½ cup cranberry sauce
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

For Serving

  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Sliced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Turkey Mixture
    Combine ground turkey, stuffing mix, celery, onion, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking.
  2. Form the Burger Patties
    Shape the mixture into four equal patties, ensuring the stuffing and cheese are evenly distributed.
  3. Cook the Patties
    Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook patties 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Make the Cranberry Drizzle
    Whisk cranberry sauce, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.
  5. Toast the Buns
    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a pan for added flavor and structure.
  6. Assemble the Burgers
    Add lettuce and tomato to the bottom bun, top with the turkey patty, and generously drizzle with cranberry sauce.
  7. Serve and Enjoy
    Top with the remaining bun and serve warm.

Notes

Add a splash of chicken broth if the turkey mixture feels dry.

Use leftover stuffing instead of mix for a richer flavor.

The cranberry drizzle can be thinned with lemon juice if preferred.
