Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
  2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped cranberries, chopped walnuts, breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape it into patties about one inch thick.
