These healthy burgers taste just like the holidays, all in one bite. They are a little sweet and a little savory, and they're delicious over a bed of peppery arugula. —Nicole Stevens, Charleston, South Carolina

Ingredients

3/4 pound ground turkey
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup gluten-free soft bread crumbs
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons pepper jelly
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups fresh arugula
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Combine first 10 ingredients, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties; transfer to a greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Heat broiler; broil until a thermometer inserted in burgers reads 165°, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss arugula with oil. Drizzle with honey; toss to combine. Top salad with turkey burgers.

Test Kitchen tips

The goat cheese in the burgers really stands out in this low-carb dinner. If you're not big on the earthy flavor, use feta instead; it has a similar texture.

Before buying a bunch of arugula, try to taste a leaf to see how spicy or peppery it is. Sometimes it's a little too much and can overpower a dish. If so, try mixing it with spinach or other greens.

To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender; cover and pulse until crumbs form. Regular bread crumbs may be used in place of the gluten-free ones this calls for.
