We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Method for Cranberry-Chipotle Mayo: Pulse mayo, chipotle peppers and cranberry sauce in the small bowl of your food processor until smooth. It should turn kind of pink. Go ahead and refrigerate that one until you need it. Extra can be used on cold cut sandwiches.

  • Step 2: Method for making burgers: Place chopped onion and water in a microwavable cup, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Drain if necessary (I didn’t need to).

  • Step 3: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ground turkey, microwaved onions, sage, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and crushed stuffing mix.

  • Step 4: For mixture into four burger patties, place on a wax paper lined plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

  • Step 5: Heat a large skillet and add burger patties, browning on both sides.

  • Step 6: Add apple juice to the pan, cover, and simmer until apple juice is absorbed and the inside temperature on the burgers reaches 165F.

  • Step 7: Serve burgers on a toasted bun, with cheddar cheese, crisp bacon, and cranberry-chipotle mayo, along with any other toppings you desire.
