I got the idea from watching a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives episode for what they called the Christmas burger but I think of these flavors as more Thanksgiving related. I couldn't find a recipe so I put a few ideas together. Thanksgiving makes me think of turkey, stuffing, and always the cranberry sauce that you have to have but that nobody really likes. This burger starts with the typical base for a stuffing, sautéed onions and celery. Form two very thin burger patties for each burger. I cheated and used stovetop for the sake of time and rolled it into large meatball-like shapes. To form each burger patty, seal the ball of stuffing between two of the thin turkey burger patties. I grilled my burgers on a nonstick grilling pan, if you don't live where it snows for 7 months out of the year then grill it on low heat outdoors. For the topping, ketchup and mustard just won't do, mix together cream cheese and cranberry sauce. I didn't serve them on buns because there's a whole ball of stuffing inside; thought it would be a few too many carbs. If you're really looking for the full Thanksgiving effect then whip up a batch of your favorite mashed potatoes. If you're using leftovers this is a great way to get rid of stuffing, cranberry sauce, and turn mashed potatoes into potato pancakes.
