Instructions
 

  • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix turkey, sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make patties (1½ Tbsp of mixture each). Wash hands after touching uncooked meats.
  • Place on a sheet pan (18" x 26" x 1") sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Wash hands after touching uncooked meats.
    For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
    For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
  • Bake in the oven for 8–10 minutes. Heat to 165 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
  • Prepare cran-apple topping: Heat a medium nonstick saucepan on medium heat. Add apples and cook to soften, about 7–8 minutes. Stir frequently. When apples begin to soften, add dried cranberries and maple syrup. Bring to a light boil, about 2 minutes. Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
  • Remove patties from oven.
  • Serve 1 patty with 3 Tbsp cran-apple topping. Serve immediately, or keep warm at 140 °F or higher.
