Instructions
 

  • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  • In a small bowl, combine turkey, sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Divide mixture into 6 even portions. Make patties.
  • Place on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Wash hands after touching uncooked meats.
  • Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes. Heat to 165 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.

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 ⅓ cup cran-apple topping. Serve immediately, or keep warm at 140 °F or higher.
