BURGERS > BIRDS Thanksgiving Burger with Cranberry BBQ sauce, Cranberry Bacon and Thanksgiving Ranch

Step 1: For the cranberry BBQ sauce, combine the cranberry jelly, with cranberry juice, ketchup, hot sauce, vinegar, honey, molasses, liquid smoke, garlic and onion powder, and salt and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until a BBQ sauce consistency is formed.

Step 2: Lay down the bacon on an aluminum foil lined baking tray. Add some of the BBQ sauce to both sides and cook at 375 F for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip the strips, apply some more BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Step 3: Combine all the ranch ingredients (sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, dill, rosemary, thyme, sage, onion powder, apple cider vinegar) in a food processor or blender and combine until a smooth ranch-like texture is formed.

Step 4: Fry the ground turkey on both sides for about 3 minutes. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top.

Step 5: Toast the buns on both sides, then assemble the burger.

Step 6: Add some ranch to the bottom bun and then place the burger on top. Place the bacon on the cheese, followed by some crispy onions and pickles. Spread the cranberry BBQ sauce to the top bun and enjoy.
