Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · small saucepan · stirring spoon · toaster (optional) · tongs · whisk or fork
Directions
- Roughly chop the cranberries and place them in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ground turkey with bread crumbs and the listed spices; mix until well blended, then divide into two equal patties.
- Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
- Cook the patties undisturbed for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook 5–7 minutes more until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, honey, Dijon, salt, and pepper to make a dressing.
- Wash, core, and small-dice the apple; add to the dressing and toss. Add the greens and extra cranberries, tossing to combine as a salad.
- When the onions finish cooking, deglaze the pan with a splash of vinegar and Worcestershire; stir, then remove from heat.
- Toast buns if desired, crumble the goat cheese, and assemble by layering a bun bottom with a patty, onions, goat cheese, and salad. Top with the bun halves and serve alongside any remaining salad.
Two tips
- Prep the cranberry mixture ahead of time so the flavors meld as you cook.
- Swap in Swiss cheese for goat cheese if you like a milder cheese flavor or use pecans from the pantry for added crunch in the salad.
