Thanksgiving.
ON. A. BUN.
This is genius beyond genius. Fantastically delicious. I mean, DELICIOUS. This COULD be a leftovers recipe that you could compile from your Thanksgiving dinner. Slices of turkey, a spoonful of stuffing, cranberry sauce – all on a bun and BAM – the whole dinner in your mouth with every bite.
OR you can make it during the week easily from scratch. I grilled some unique turkey burgers made with sage & thyme amongst other ingredients, Patti made some crazy good cranberry relish, then you could do a box of Stove Top Stuffing and BAM – again, Thanksgiving on a bun.
Either way you go, this is a MUST do. We’ve already discussed this becoming a regular in our house. I wish I could take credit for this, but I had almost nothing to do with it. This is the brainchild of my creative wife, Patti. She is constantly coming up with amazing creations, unique recipes, delicious meals for me and the kids and anyone else that walks in our door.
She takes anything ordinary and makes it extraordinary – on a daily basis.
I’ll let Patti fill in the recipe box because I really don’t know what she did when she created this Thanksgiving happiness on a bun. And seriously, every bite really DOES taste like Thanksgiving dinner.
It’s just magnificent.
I’m a lucky guy.

I made these for my grandson with a side of sweet potato fries and he was in heaven. He’s 19 and thinks burgers are the best thing on the planet. This was a hit with him…and his grandma!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
