Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce (smooth or chunky)
• 4 brioche burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices
• 4 red onion slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging as they cook.

Step 3

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and cranberry sauce until smooth. Set aside and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on a separate part of the skillet or grill pan, cut side down, until golden brown.

Step 6

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of cranberry mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a turkey patty, a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion. Place the top bun on the burger.

Step 7

Serve the Boston Turkey Burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad.
