Turkey Burgers With Cranberry

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350, and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, shallot, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, parsley and dried red pepper flakes in a large bowl. With clean hands, mix gently until everything is combined. Form into 4 patties.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick 9 or 10" skillet on medium heat with enough olive oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan, add the four patties (but don't crowd them) and cook for about 2 minutes per side until lightly browned, turning once. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake the patties for 9 minutes, then remove from the oven and divide the cheese onto each patty (2 slices per patty) Place the baking tray back in the oven and continue to bake for about 3-4 more minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Step 4

Make a sauce for the burgers by mixing the mayo with 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

Step 5

Toast the hamburger buns under the broiler, then divide the mayo/mustard mixture on the buns, top with the turkey patty, and garnish with a tablespoon of cranberry sauce. Add fresh Italian Parsley on top to finish.
