Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by heating your grill to medium-high and giving the grates a quick brush with oil so the burgers don’t stick. In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, and cumin. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then set this tangy sauce aside for later.

Step 2

In a larger bowl, use your hands to combine the egg, celery, and onion until the egg is fully incorporated and everything feels evenly mixed. Add the ground turkey along with thyme, poultry seasoning, parsley, and bread crumbs. Gently mix everything together until just combined—be careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape each into a patty. Place them on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. You want the burgers to be cooked through with no pink in the middle, so aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) if you have a meat thermometer.

Step 4

Once the patties are done, pile them onto your favorite buns and spoon some of the cranberry horseradish sauce over the top. Serve right away and enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish offers a delicious twist on a classic favorite by combining savory turkey with a bright, tangy sauce. The cranberry and horseradish bring a perfect balance of sweet and spicy that livens up every bite. It’s a healthier alternative to beef burgers without sacrificing flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These burgers go great on toasted whole wheat buns with fresh lettuce, sliced red onion, and a few pickles. A side of sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad pairs nicely to complete the meal.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. The cranberry horseradish sauce can be kept separately in a sealed jar for up to one week. Reheat burgers gently to avoid drying them out.
