These juicy grilled turkey patties are packed with flavor and topped with a zesty cranberry and horseradish sauce that adds the perfect tangy kick. They’re a delicious twist on a classic favorite, perfect for any casual meal.
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light brush of oil so the patties don’t stick. In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, and cumin. Taste it and add a bit of salt and pepper, then set the topping aside.
In a larger bowl, use your hand to blend the egg, celery, and onion until the egg is fully mixed in. Add the ground turkey along with thyme, poultry seasoning, parsley, and bread crumbs, and gently mix everything until it’s well combined. Shape the mixture into eight even patties.
Grill the turkey patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. If you have a meat thermometer, aim for 165°F (74°C) to be safe. Once they’re done, pop the patties onto your buns and spoon over the cranberry topping before serving.
- Make sure the grill is hot before placing the patties on to get nice grill marks and prevent sticking.
- Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to keep them juicy and tender.
- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
These patties offer a delicious twist on traditional grilled meat with a perfect balance of savory turkey and a tangy, spicy topping. The combination of cranberry and horseradish adds brightness and a little kick, making every bite exciting and full of flavor.
Serve these patties on toasted buns with fresh lettuce and sliced red onions for added crunch. They also pair well with a side of roasted sweet potatoes or a crisp green salad to balance the rich flavors.
Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep them moist. The cranberry and horseradish topping can be stored separately to maintain its fresh taste.
