3 tablespoons yellow mustard

3 tablespoons sugar-free apricot or peach preserves

1 teaspoon butter

1/4 cup chicken broth

1 egg

1/4 cup quick-cooking oats

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon sage

1/4 cup finely minced celery

2 tablespoons finely minced dried cranberries

1 pound ground turkey

.

In a small bowl stir together mustard, preserves, butter, and chicken broth. Heat in the microwave until bubbly and set aside.

In a large bowl beat the egg with a fork. Stir in oats, salt, pepper, sage, celery, cranberries, and 1 tablespoon of the glaze mixture. until well mixed. Add the ground turkey and gently mix well. Shape into burgers or meatballs.

If using a George Forman-type grill, brush both sides with glaze during the last minute of grilling. If making in the oven brush both sides with glaze and arrange on a baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees 15-20 minutes or until no longer pink (165 degrees).

If you want to reserve some of the sauce for the buns, pour half of it into another small bowl…this way you can brush the uncooked burgers from one batch and not contaminate the sauce that won’t be cooked. Makes 4 servings.
