The Tennessee-based fast food chain Back Yard Burgers recently debuted a seasonal sandwich that offers a clever new take on the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Combining both sweet and savory ingredients, this festive dish is the perfect way for consumers to get into the holiday spirit.
The new Autumn Turkey Burger from Back Yard Burgers consists of third pound, all-white meat turkey patty made from Jenny-O ground turkey. The patty is then topped with a zesty orange cranberry sauce, herbed mayo and a slice of white cheddar cheese on a toasted wheat bun.
For those looking for a complete Thanksgiving meal, the chain is also offering a festive Pecan Cobbler and a Turtle Milkshake -- both of which are designed to evoke the spirit of the season.
