Grilled Turkey Patties with a Cranberry and Horseradish Topping

Ingredients

• 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice, or to taste
• 1 pinch ground cumin
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 egg
• ½ cup minced celery
• ½ cup minced onion
• 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 8 hamburger buns, split

Step 1

Heat your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light brush of oil so the patties don’t stick. In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, and cumin. Taste it and add a bit of salt and pepper, then set the topping aside.

Step 2

In a larger bowl, use your hand to blend the egg, celery, and onion until the egg is fully mixed in. Add the ground turkey along with thyme, poultry seasoning, parsley, and bread crumbs, and gently mix everything until it’s well combined. Shape the mixture into eight even patties.

Step 3

Grill the turkey patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. If you have a meat thermometer, aim for 165°F (74°C) to be safe. Once they’re done, pop the patties onto your buns and spoon over the cranberry topping before serving.
