Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Apple Turkey Burgers:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and grating your apple, finely chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
2. Mix the Meat: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated apple, bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, cinnamon, thyme, and the beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook the Burgers: Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
6. Rest: Once cooked, remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier bite.
7. Assemble: Serve the burgers on toasted buns or lettuce leaves. Top with your choice of toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, or extra apple slices.
