Cranberry-Stuffed Chicken Burgers
Grill: 17 mins
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 1/2 pounds uncooked ground chicken
- 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/8 teaspoon regular salt
- 1 to 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 4 thin slices fresh mozzarella cheese or 4 slices regular mozzarella cheese
- 4 Kaiser rolls or sesame hamburger buns, split and toasted
- Lettuce leaves
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, bring orange juice to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in cranberries. Let stand for 5 minutes. Drain cranberries, discarding orange juice.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, marjoram and salt. Shape chicken mixture into 8 1/2-inch-thick patties. (The mixture may be sticky. If necessary, wet hands to shape patties.)
3. Place one-fourth of the cranberries and one-fourth of the Parmesan cheese on the center of each of 4 patties. Top with the remaining patties; press edges to seal.
4. For a charcoal grill: Grill patties on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 14 to 18 minutes or until no longer pink (165 degrees F)*, turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill: Preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place patties on greased grill rack over heat. Cover; grill as above.) Top each burger with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Grill, uncovered, about 3 minutes more or until cheese begins to melt. Serve burgers on toasted rolls with lettuce leaves. Makes 4 burgers.

Tip:
*
The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A chicken patty cooked to 165 degrees F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.
what's oozing from the inside of the burger? the recipe only has parm. in the middle, which doesn't ooze like that! it's a bit misleading .... looks like there's mozzarella inside, too!
