Turkey sliders with orange and cranberry relish served with lemony creamed spinach

Turkey sliders with orange and cranberry relish
1 orange, peeled and quartered
½ cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
½ jalapeno, minced
20 ounces ground turkey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon pepper
4 ounces, Muenster cheese, sliced
Dinner rolls, cut in half, toasted
Lettuce

Prepare the relish by combining quartered orange, cranberries, lemon juice, sugar, and jalapeno in a food processor and combine. Add water if relish is too thick.

Prepare the turkey burgers by combining the ground turkey, shallot, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well and form into ½” thick patties. Cook on a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side. Add cheese when nearly done.

Place a patty on each burger and top with relish and lettuce.

Lemony creamed spinach
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons All-Purpose flour
1 ¾ cups milk
20 ounces, frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Pepper

Melt butter with the oil in a skillet. Sauté the onion and garlic until tender. Remove from heat and stir in the flour. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring frequently. Gradually blend in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened.

Add the spinach, cheese, lemon juice, and a generous amount of pepper. Heat.
