Thanksgiving leftover burger


For the week of Thanksgiving of course there will always be leftovers. I had a few to go containers left from my big Thanksgiving day meal. I had some stuffing which is by far my favorite item on the Thanksgiving table. I also had some sweet potatoes which is my wife's favorite. This was a really good burger for us. I bought turkey patties which were stuffed with spinach and garlic to create the theme. I fired up the grill to as hot as I could get it and I seared the turkey burgers for about 8 minutes on each side. At the same time I heated up the sausage stuffing and also put two tablespoons of the sweet potatoes in a microwave safe dish and heated that up until it became very soft and spreadable. My roll of choice was an onion roll. I sliced the roll in half and spread the sweet potato on top and a little mayo on the bottom. You can see the orange on the underside of the top of the onion roll. Turkey tends to be dry so you need something to moisten the burger. This combo was delicious and made for what seemed like a complete Thanksgiving in one burger. I had turkey, onions, spinach, sweet potato, stuffing, and bread all in one bite. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I can't wait until Christmas.
