Not every burger restaurant does a riff on Thanksgiving and turkey for its November Burger of the Month. But many of the best ones do. Start it off with The Counter chain and its Not Your Granny's Turkey Burger (below). That's a 1/3-lb. seasoned turkey patty layered with baby spinach, dried cranberries, sliced red onion, made-to-order sweet-potato hash, a slice of maple glazed ham and rosemary cream sauce.
Another winner is the Thanksgiving burger being served all month at Kuma's Corner and sibling Kuma's Too in Chicago. Called simply "Sleep," it's an 8-oz. turkey patty with cranberry jelly, tempura-fried stuffing patty, fried sage and turkey gravy.
That's good eating any time. But if you're looking for a turkey burger idea, check out these other homages to Thanksgiving appearing on menus this month. Please eat responsibly.
