Anytime Thanksgiving Patties

This recipe is from Mr. Food. To make appetizer portions, roll the mixture into meatballs instead of patties and serve the meatballs in a warm cranberry sauce.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 3

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons butter or 3  tablespoons margarine, divided
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped celery
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped onion
• 3⁄4 cup  dry  seasoned stuffing mix
• 1⁄3 cup  boiling chicken broth or 1⁄3 cup water
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon poultry seasoning or 1⁄4 teaspoon dried sage
• 1  lb ground turkey
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped fresh parsley
• 6  teaspoons cranberry sauce or 6  teaspoons cranberry sauce

Directions

1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and saute‚ until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the stuffing mix, broth, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning; mix well. Let the mixture cool completely, then transfer to a large bowl.
3. Mix in the turkey and parsley. Form into 6 equal-sized patties.
4. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add the patties and brown for 1 minute per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 4 to 5 more minutes per side, until the patties are cooked through and spring back when touched.
5. Top each patty with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce or cranberry relish for that complete Thanksgiving taste.
