Blythe's holiday turkey burgers






CRANBERRY-FETA TURKEY BIRGERS
'Tis the season to put a holiday twist on everything. Up in San Francisco this weekend, Blythe put together a fantastic pre-party dinner of cranberry & feta turkey burgers on whole grain buns, organic green salad with cherry tomatoes and avocado, and oven-baked sweet potato fries. I had to post about this one because the turkey burgers were genius- why didn't I think of that?!?! Here's the pre-cooked burgers (i think we had too mcuh wine beofre we actually ate the meal to remember to take a picture of the finished product with all the fixins :)


For 8 good size burgers use:

2 packages lean or extra lean ground turkey (Blythe mixed one extra lean (99% fat free) with one lean (93% fat free)- perfect! )

3/4 cup dried cranberries (just throw in a couple handfuls)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Mix 'em together and grill 'em up- about 8 minutes per side. These were PERFECT as is, but james and I were just talking and thinking they could be spiced up even more with chopped celery and onions (kind of like turkey stuffing burgers) or some spices (sage or rosemary?) would both go well.


Serve with oven-baked sweet potato fries of course!

and a picture with the cook!

I vote for sage. OR how about some poultry seasoning for that real stuffing flavor? I will definitely try these.

Just made these burgers a little while ago (included your suggestion to add celery and onion) and all I can say is, "Wowsers!" A huge hit among myself and my mister! Thanks for sharing this recipe and so many others on this blog. I can't wait to make more of your grub!
