Instructions
Cranberry Relish
- Mix the orange juice and sugar together in a small saucepan, then cook over a gentle heat until the sugar is dissolved.

- Mix the sliced onion with the lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then add all the other ingredients and stir thoroughly.

Turkey Burgers
- Fry the diced onions in the olive oil for 3 minutes. Add the diced bacon and cook for 2 more minutes until the onions and bacon are slightly browned.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Place the turkey mince in a large bowl along with the sage and plenty of salt and pepper. Add in the cooled onions and bacon and mix everything together with your hands.
- Shape into 4 burgers and grill (US - broil) on medium/high for 4-5 mins on each side.
- While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast your brioche buns in the toaster or in a griddle pan on the hob.
