Cranberry Turkey Burgers with Arugula Salad
Ingredients:
¾ lb ground turkey
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup soft bread crumbs
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons pepper jelly
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg yolk
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Arugula Salad:
4 cups fresh arugula
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all turkey burger ingredients, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four ½ inch thick patties; transfer to a greased baking sheet. Bake until no longer pink, 10-12 minutes. Heat broiler; broil until a thermometer inserted in burgers reads 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
Arugula salad: toss arugula with oil. Drizzle with honey; toss to combine. Top salad with turkey burgers.
Goes great with smoky cauliflower bites:
¼ cup olive oil
¾ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Mix everything but cauliflower, then add florets; toss to coat. Transfer to a baking pan. Roast until tender, 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway.
