Turkey Burgers w/ Cranberry Aioli
Right around this time of year I get a craving for a turkey dinner…. a nice plate full of my favorite Thanksgiving foods. But, that’s just too much food on a hot summer day. I decided to create a recipe that not only reminds me of Thanksgiving but is light enough for summer. I give you the Turkey Burger with Cranberry Aioli. The turkey burger is full of flavorful herbs and when you combine it with the cranberry aioli you have the perfect burger. It’s a great blend of sweet and savory with a lean and juicy burger.

A Thanksgiving Feast
I look forward to Thanksgiving every year. Not just for the delicious feast, but because it’s a time to get together with family and friends. For some it’s also about football and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which I too enjoy. I’ve put together a handful of my favorite recipes and ideas you can use to host the perfect Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving. What’s a party without some appetizers? Two of my favorite appetizers for Thanksgiving are Cranberry Crescent Bites and Brie and Apple Crostinis. I think they are sweet and savory but also a little salty. Both fit the holiday theme, are easy to make, and can feed a crowd. The recipes can be found below. Cranberry Crescent Bites Brie and Apple Crostini I’m a huge fan of sangria so I like to make a big batch of Cranberry Sangria to … Continue reading
