Thanksgiving Burger

Pairs well with:

White Zinfandel

With strawberry and melon essences, this American original is perfectly at home with however you like to unwind.

My inspiration for this burger is that I love Thanksgiving. Since November will be here before we know it, I thought it would be a great idea to create a burger that reminds us all of the good food to come during this holiday.

Directions
1. Peel all the skin from the sweet potato and then grate the sweet potato (by hand on a grater or in a food processor).
2. Place grated sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and spray twice with cooking spray to lightly coat the potatoes. Wrap the grated sweet potatoes entirely in aluminum foil and put on the grill. Cook on charcoal grill for 6-9 minutes.
3. While sweet potatoes are cooking on the grill, chop red onion, green bell pepper, and garlic and place in a bowl. Add cabbage to the bowl.
4. In another bowl, add brown sugar, white sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, white wine, white vinegar, apple vinegar, and cranberry juice. Then, mix in the mayonnaise.
5. Transfer the vegetable mixture to the bowl with the wine/cranberry/mayonnaise mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the sauce. Refrigerate the mixture.
6. After 6-8 minutes, remove the potatoes from the grill. Open up the aluminum foil and let the sweet potatoes cool for 2 minutes. Then, add to the cabbage mixture and thoroughly stir. Then refrigerate until the burger is cooked.
7. Add the Stove Top Dressing in a bowl.
8. Pour in the chicken broth and wine. Cut up the onion, the orange bell pepper, green onion, celery, and garlic and stir in the cornbread stuffing mixture. Add the feta cheese.
9. Place the ground turkey in a separate bowl. Finely cut the garlic and add to the ground turkey. Add the lemon pepper, Creole seasoning, marjoram, Accent seasoning, sea salt, olive oil, and butter cream spray to the ground turkey and blend with your hands.
10. Separate the meat into 12 segments.
11. Split each segment and form two patties.
12. Put 2 tsp. of corn bread stuffing on one patty. Place the other patty on top and pinch the sides of the two patties to enclose the stuffing inside the burger.
13. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for the other 11 ground turkey segments.
14. Put burgers on charcoal grill and let the burgers cook for 35-40 minutes.
15. While burgers are cooking their last 8-10 minutes, separate the Hawaiin Sweet Rolls and cut in half. Spray each side of the buns with one squirt of cooking spray and let cook 3-5 minutes on each side.
16. Remove rolls and burgers from grill.
17. Place burgers on one side of the roll. Garnish with 2 tsp. of sweet potato coleslaw. Then, place other side of roll on top.
