Cranberry Turkey Burgers...or Meatballs...whatever floats your boat

Apparently I don't cook anything unless there's at least 4 words in the description.

Start with about 1 lb of ground turkey. I buy the stacks of frozen turkey burgers from Costco, so this would be the equivalent to36 patties, since each one is 1/3 lb.

Put the ground turkey in a bowl and add...

2 small handfuls of dried cranberries.
Some chopped parsley
1/2 packet of onion soup mix.
1 tsp turmeric.
1 egg.
Some Matzo meal or breadcrumbs.
Parmesan
Sriracha

I've done this recipe with green onions, black pepper, jalapenos, whatever. Go crazy. As long as you get the turkey and cranberries in there, you're getting the general idea.


Mix everything together and either form patties or grab a tablespoon measuring spoon. Use this to scoop and form meatballs. I wanted to grill these, so I made patties, but with meatballs you can fry them in a bit of olive oil or butter. Best to fry in batches, or else they're going to all stick together.

Make sure you cook them thoroughly, or if you plan to make them to eat later, cook until the outside is just cooked and then microwave or put in the oven just before eating, like if you want to make them party food.

These are really good alone, or served over rice in lettuce cups.
