Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F and wash and dry all produce. Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in middle of oven, turning over halfway through cooking, until golden-brown, 20-22 min. (NOTE: This healthier version won't get as crispy as deep-fried fries!)
Roughly chop the cranberries. Finely chop 1 tbsp sage. Coarsely grate the shallot with a box grater. Cut the cheese into 1/4-inch slices. Halve the buns. Mix together the turkey, shallot, breadcrumbs and sage in a large bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
Form turkey mixture into four 4-inch wide burger patties. (NOTE: Your mixture may look wet, this is normal! You can carefully re-shape patties when cooking in Step 4.) Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then burgers. Pan-fry until cooked through, 5-6 min per side.
While the burgers cook, heat a small pot over medium heat. When hot, add the cranberries, marmalade, 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 cup water. Cook stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have absorbed the water and sauce is sticky, 9-10 min.
Arrange the buns cut-side up on another baking sheet. Divide the cheese between bottom buns. Toast in the top of the oven until buns are golden-brown and cheese has melted, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
Divide the patties between bottom buns. Top with the cranberry sauce and spring mix. Serve with the sweet potatoes on the side.
