    Blue Cheese & Cranberry Baked Turkey Burgers are the most unique and flavorful burger to grace your dinner table. Each bite is packed with sweet and salty, along with the vibrant flavor of fresh basil.

    Blue Cheese & Cranberry Baked Turkey Burgers - Low Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, THM S

    I've made versions of this recipe for years and it first appeared on my blog as a meatloaf. Which got about 0 views. Meatloaf isn't the most photogenic food. It's hard to convince people to try something that looks boring and brown even if it is delicious! By reworking that meatloaf into burgers they cook faster and look prettier with bits of blue cheese, dried cranberries, and basil peeking through.

    We have loved this combination for years. I originally made it according to a recipe from the Make It Fast Cook It Slow crockpot cookbook. After the first try, we knew we loved the flavor but didn't love the texture from cooking it in a crockpot. For a while after that, I made it according to that recipe but just baked it in the oven.

    Over the years I developed the recipe to make it low carb, sugar, and gluten-free. I now omit the bread crumbs, use unsweetened dried cranberries to replace the dried cherries, and occasionally use gorgonzola cheese instead of the blue.

    These moist baked turkey burgers are studded with cranberries and chunks of cheese. If you are tired of your everyday dinners and want something with a unique flavor you have to try them.
