Apple Cheddar Turkey Burgers

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground turkey, (I use 93/7%)

1 apple, (shredded)

4 green onions, (thinly sliced)

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

4 buns, (toasted)

4 slices cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons dijon mustard

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Directions

In a large bowl use your hands to combine all of the ingredients for the turkey burgers being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal parts and form them into patties.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the patties to the hot skillet and cook on each side for approximately 4-6 minutes per side or until cooked through.

During the last minute of cooking add slices of cheddar cheese to the tops of the burger and cover with a lid or foil until the cheese is melted.

While the burgers cook whisk together the maple dijon mustard, slice an apple and toast the buns. Serve the turkey burgers topped with slices of apple and some of the maple dijon mustard.
