Ingredients

Units Scale

2 pounds ground turkey
2 tablespoons dried sage, crushed
1 tablespoon dried thyme, crushed
1 tablespoon dried orange peel
salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
Low Carb Cranberry Relish
12 to 18 fresh baby spinach leaves (optional – for garnish)

Instructions

Position the oven rack to 4″-6″ below the broiling element. Preheat the broiler.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, crushed sage, crushed thyme, dried orange peel, salt and pepper. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it and making the burgers tough, mix all the ingredients together well.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form them into round patties the size of hamburgers.
Brush a broiler pan with vegetable oil to prevent the turkey burgers from sticking and place the burgers on the broiler pan.
Broil for about 4 minutes on one side. Remove the broiler pan from the oven, and using a wide spatula, carefully flip the turkey burgers over. Return the pan to the oven and continue broiling until the burgers are cooked through, about 4-6 minutes longer. The meat should no longer be pink in the middle and the juices should run clear.
While the burgers are cooking on the second side, put the low carb cranberry relish in the microwave and heat it for 1-3 minutes, until it is heated through. Set aside.
Place the burgers on the dinner plates and top with 1-3 tablespoons of the cranberry relish.
Garnish with fresh spinach leaves half-tucked under or around the burgers, if desired, and serve immediately. Non-low carbers who are using buns can add the spinach leaves on top of their burgers.

Notes

Leftover burgers reheat well. You can also place individual leftover burgers in a microwave-safe plastic container with a lid, top them with some of the sauce, and freeze the cooked burgers to save them for another night or to take to work for your lunch.
