Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese slices
- 4 whole burger buns
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for spread)
- 4 leaves butter lettuce
- 0.5 thinly sliced red onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Step 2
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add olive oil to the pan if using a skillet.
Step 4
Place the turkey patties in the skillet or on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side, or until nicely browned. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese to melt.
Step 5
While the patties cook, prepare the bun spread by combining mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Step 6
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of the Dijon mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, a dollop of cranberry sauce, a few slices of red onion, and the top bun.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your turkey burgers with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for the ultimate New England-inspired meal!
