Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, orange juice, honey, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Set aside.

2

Make the Burgers

In a large bowl, mix ground turkey or beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form into 4 equal patties.

3

Cook the Burgers

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

4

Assemble the Burgers

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet. Place each patty on a bun and top with the warm cranberry sauce. Serve immediately.
