Recipe: Sweet-and-Sour Burgers (using sauerkraut and cranberry sauce)

SWEET-AND-SOUR BURGERS

FOR THE SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE:
1 (8 oz) can shredded sauerkraut, drained
1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp brown sugar
FOR THE BURGERS:
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 (1.35 oz) envelope dried onion soup mix
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (I prefer ground turkey for this burger)
6 onion rolls, lightly toasted (for serving)

Combine first 5 ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine egg, (dry) soup mix, and water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add ground beef (or turkey), mixing well. Shape into 6 patties.

Grill over medium-hot coals for 5 minutes on each side or desired doneness.

Place burgers on toasted roll and serve with sauce.
