Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion and celery until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Place the cooked onion and celery in a large bowl with the ground turkey, stuffing mix, and eggs; mix to thoroughly combine. Form the mixture into 16 patties. Unlike hamburger, these patties will not change shape while cooking, so make them even in size.
- Grill the turkey burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place each patty on a hamburger bun, and top with cranberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream cheese to serve.

OUR FAVORITE TURKEY BURGER
These tasty burgers incorporate shredded Gruyère cheese and Dijon mustard in the patty, rather than on top, which prevents the bun from getting soggy. Breadcrumbs add even more texture.

TURKEY BURGERS WITH FLAVOR
I haven't tried to cook with ground turkey for ten years. I never liked it before. Since it is so healthy and low in fat I tried to infuse the turkey with flavor and this recipe did the trick. The consistency is much improved too. If you like cilantro and mango flavors, you will love these delicious burgers. So easy to make and can be made a day ahead.

Steps:
- Put 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet and heat over high. Add onions and tomatoes with generous sprinkles of salt and pepper. Sauté over high, stirring frequently, until onions begin to brown.
- Add garlic and cook until onions are wilted and soft. Remove from heat. Set aside half the onion mixture for topping burgers.
- Blend ground turkey with remaining onion mixture, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Shape into 2 balls.
- Make a deep hole with your thumb and insert half of the cheese into each ball. Pinch hole closed and flatten ball into 3/4- to 1-inch thick patties with no sign of cheese on the outside. Patties will be very soft and sticky.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium high. Sear burgers about 30 seconds on each side until browned.
- Lower heat to medium-low and cook about 5 minutes per side, or until there is no pink at center of burger and an instant-read thermometer measures at least 150 degrees
- These burgers can also be grilled if you prefer.
- Serve hot on buns, topping with reserved onions and your favorite condiments.
Tips:
- When making turkey burgers, use ground turkey that is at least 93% lean. This will help to keep the burgers moist and flavorful.
- Season the ground turkey well with your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to add flavor to the burgers.
- Don't overcook the turkey burgers. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through. This will help to keep them moist and juicy.
- Serve the turkey burgers on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Turkey burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create turkey burgers that are sure to please everyone at your next barbecue or cookout.
