Cranberry Turkey Burgers
- 6 tablespoons couscous (whole-wheat if available)
- 12 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 12 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 14 cup dried cranberries
- 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
- Place couscous in a large bowl.
- Pour in boiling water, stir and set aside until the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add celery and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add thyme, sage, salt and pepper; cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds more.
- Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the couscous, add cranberries and stir to combine.
- Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add turkey and stir until combined; do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into 6 patties.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet, preferably cast-iron, with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
- Add the patties, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4 minutes.
- Turn gently to avoid breakage, and cook on the other side for 2 minutes.
- Cover and continue to cook until lightly browned but still juicy (the juices should run clear, not pink), about 4 minutes more.
- (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read 165 F.).
