This epic burger is part of a fan-frickin-tastic month-long event hosted by Girl Carnivore, but opinions are always my own!
Push the brunch limits with this sage turkey burger served with blueberry ketchup in a blueberry cinnamon roll.
Today is a grand day for many reasons. For starters it’s my 35th birthday! Not very exciting this year due to quarantine, especially when compared to being in Italy this time last year.
Today is also Star Wars Day (may the fourth be with you) and my assigned day for Burger Month! To represent all of those things in one I decided to get extra creative (and a bit weird) for my burger contribution.
Princess Leia is known for her iconic bun hairstyle, so I decided to use cinnamon rolls as the bun for my burger. But not just any cinnamon roll, a blueberry cinnamon roll with maple glaze!
Now what kind of burger would pair with that? After consulting my Flavor BibleFlavor Bible, I landed on a sage turkey burger with blueberry ketchup. Like a breakfast sandwich but oh so much more tantalizing.
Bob originally suggested I also put an over-easy egg on top as well, but I thought that might be pushing the limit a littler too much. Besides, you already need to be armed with a napkin to eat these due to the stick nature of the buns, I didn’t need to add an ooze factor into the equation as well.
Honestly, these were better than I expected. No one component overpowered the other. The flavors were well balanced and made for a delightful brunch. Happy Birthday/Star Wars/Burger day to me!

Wow. Just WOW! That one kicked up burger. I cannot imagine how all those flavors combine together. I bet it tastes awesome.
It was a fun and delicious flavor experiment!
This is a unique burger!!! What a clever idea!
Happy Birthday, Erin! Today is my 75th birthday. Thanks to you I finally understand one reason why a friend of mine always has to say, may the fourth be with you. Although he’d probably say that even if today wasn’t Star Wars Day. Your burger sounds absolutely wonderful, but I can pretty well guarantee I wouldn’t do the whole thing. Way too many carbs. But the burgers and ketchup? Perhaps. Hope you have a great day. And by the way, I like Bob’s idea of an egg on top.
Thank you and happy birthday to you too! If I didn’t serve these on the cinnamon rolls I think an egg on top would have been a great addition. I hope you try it!
