1. Appetizers

Ingredients

Cranberry Marmalade (Makes about 1 cups):
1 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

Burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (not breast meat, use thigh meat)
1/2 teaspoon sage, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
16 Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls (can substitute Parker rolls) Thick cut salted potato chips for garnish
Baby sage leaves or chopped sage for garnish

Methods/Steps

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Make Marmalade: Place the cinnamon stick, orange juice, sugar, salt and cranberries into a medium saucepan, stir to combine. Over high heat, bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the cranberries start to pop and thicken, about 15-20 minutes.

Cool Marmalade: Pick out the cinnamon sticks and place marmalade into a bowl set over an ice bath and stir until cooled down. Place into the refrigerator until ready to use.

Mix and Form Patties: In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, sage, salt, pepper and mayonnaise. Stir until incorporated. Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop, gently divide the meat mixture into equal portions. Using your thumb, flatten the patty and make a small dimple in the middle. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan.

Cook Burgers: Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear burgers 1-2 minute a side, until golden. Transfer partially cooked burgers onto a sheet pan. Once all of the burgers have been seared, transfer to the oven to finish cooking, about 6 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the middle of the burger registers at 160 degrees.

Toast Buns: Cut buns in half and place cut side down on the hot grill until light brown.

Assemble Sliders: Put a teaspoon of marmalade on the bottom half of bun. Place a burger on top, a potato chip, and then another teaspoon of marmalade. Garnish with a small sage leaf or chopped sage. Place other half of the bun on top. Serve immediately.
