We’ve given burger night a festive twist with these Turkey Cranberry Burgers. Stuffed with cheese, our homemade turkey patties are so much tastier than the ones you can buy at the supermarket – and they’re lighter too, thanks to the 2% fat mince we’ve used.
Orange zest and dried cranberries give the patties a little taste of Christmas, and we’ve ramped up the seasonal flavours even more by smearing the bread rolls with a dollop of tangy cranberry sauce. Throw in some crisp, fresh lettuce and a little bit of light mayonnaise and you’ve got a banging burger for any time of year!
Serve with our Homemade Oven Chips for a Fakeaway treat that’s on the table in far less time than ordering from your favourite fast food place.

Step 1
Add the mince, bacon and onion to a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Add the panko breadcrumbs, dried cranberries, garlic granules, onion powder, sage, thyme and orange zest. Season with a little salt and pepper. Add 1 tbsp of egg at a time until the mixture comes together. You may not need to use all of the egg.
Step 2
Split the mixture into 4. Flatten the mixture in the palm of your hand and add a piece of Babybel cheese. Wrap the mince round the cheese, ensuring it is fully sealed, and shape into burgers. Repeat with the other burgers. Add to a plate and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set on a low-medium heat. Cook the burgers for 5 minutes on each side. Be careful not to have the pan too hot as the burgers may burn on the outside but not be cooked through.
Step 4
Add the rolls to a baking tray, cut side up, and pop under the grill until lightly toasted. Spread with the cranberry sauce and light mayo.
Step 5
Once cooked, add a burger to each roll, top with lettuce and add the top half of the roll on top. Serve!
