Ingredients for Bob’s Burgers Thanksgiving
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 burger buns
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 4 fresh lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of turkey bacon
How to Prepare Bob’s Burgers Thanksgiving
Alright, let’s dive into the fun part—making these delicious turkey burgers! I promise, it’s easier than you might think, and your kitchen will smell amazing. Ready? Let’s go!
Step 1: Prepare the Burger Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground turkey with 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste. Now, using your hands (trust me, it’s the best way!), mix everything together until it’s well combined. You want that cheesy, flavorful goodness all mixed up!
Step 2: Form the Patties
Once your mixture is ready, it’s time to shape it into patties! Divide the mixture into four equal parts—this helps them cook evenly. Gently form each part into a patty, making sure they’re about the same thickness. This way, they’ll cook at the same rate. Place them on a plate and get ready to cook!
Step 3: Cooking the Patties
Heat up your grill or skillet over medium heat (around 350°F). Once it’s nice and hot, add your patties. Cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side. You’ll know they’re done when the juices run clear, and they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Just a little tip—don’t press down on the patties while they’re cooking! You want to keep all that juicy goodness inside.
Step 4: Fry the Turkey Bacon
While your patties are cooking, let’s get that turkey bacon crispy! In a separate pan, fry the slices over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re golden brown and crispy. Mmm, the smell is heavenly!
Step 5: Assemble the Burgers
Now comes the fun part—assembly! Grab your burger buns and lay down a fresh lettuce leaf on each one. Place a cooked patty on top, then slather on a generous scoop of cranberry sauce, and finish it off with that crispy turkey bacon. Wow, right? It’s a flavor explosion!
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve these beauties hot, and maybe even with a side of sweet potato fries or a salad. Trust me, everyone will be raving about your Bob’s Burgers Thanksgiving burger. Enjoy every bite and happy feasting!
Tips for Success
Alright, let’s make sure your Bob’s Burgers Thanksgiving burger turns out absolutely perfect! Here are some pro tips that I swear by:
- Fresh Ingredients: Always use the freshest ground turkey and produce you can find. It really makes a difference in flavor! Fresh herbs or even a dash of garlic powder can elevate the taste.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your ingredients, be gentle. Overmixing can lead to tough patties. Just enough mixing to combine all the flavors is key!
- Even Patties: Ensure your patties are the same size for even cooking. I like to use a kitchen scale to measure them out, but you can also just eyeball it if you’re feeling adventurous!
- Perfect Cooking: Keep an eye on your cooking temperature. Too high, and the outside will char before the inside is cooked through. Medium heat is your friend here!
- Extra Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Adding sliced avocado, crispy onions, or even a sprinkle of arugula can add a fun twist to your burger.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the patties sit for a minute after cooking. This helps keep them juicy as they finish cooking and makes for a better bite!
With these tips, I have no doubt your burgers will be a hit at your Thanksgiving gathering. Happy cooking!

FAQ Section
I know you might have some questions about making these delicious Bob’s Burgers Thanksgiving burgers, so let’s tackle a few common ones!
Can I use ground chicken instead of turkey?
Absolutely! Ground chicken works just as well and will give you a slightly different flavor. Just make sure to cook it until it reaches the same internal temperature of 165°F.
What if I want a vegetarian option?
No problem at all! You can substitute the turkey with a plant-based burger or even a mixture of black beans and quinoa for a hearty, meat-free version. Just adjust the cooking time based on what you use!
How should I store leftovers?
Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
Can I make the patties ahead of time?
Definitely! You can prepare the patties in advance and store them in the fridge for up to a day or freeze them for up to a month. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper so they don’t stick together!
What are some fun topping variations?
Oh, the possibilities are endless! You can add sliced avocado, crispy fried onions, or even a dollop of creamy ranch dressing for an extra kick. Feel free to experiment and find your favorite combination!
Can I use regular bacon instead of turkey bacon?
Of course! While I love turkey bacon for a lighter option, regular bacon adds a delicious richness. Just cook it until crispy, and you’re good to go!
