Turkey Burgers
Combine onion, apple, and ground meat to form patties. Pan-fry until cooked through, then sandwich in whole wheat burger buns.
Ingredients
onion (peeled and finely chopped)
1 small
apple (coarsely grated with skin)
1
lean ground turkey (ground chicken, beef, pork, or lamb also works)
1 lb (450 g)
egg
1 small
all-purpose flour (for dusting)
to taste
salt and pepper
to taste
Instructions
1
Prepare the Vegetables
Peel the onion and chop it very finely. Leave the apple unpeeled and coarsely grate it. When you can see the core and seeds—you're done!
2
Mix the Meat
Place the onion and apple in a mixing bowl, then add the ground meat. Stir or use your hands to break up the meat and combine it with the onion and apple.
3
Prepare the Egg
Crack the egg into another bowl and lightly beat the yolk and white with a fork or whisk. This will help bind the burger mixture.
4
Season and Combine
Pour the beaten egg into the meat, onion, and apple mixture. Season to taste, then use clean hands to mix everything together—this part is messy but fun!
5
Shape the Patties
Lightly dust a plate and your hands with flour. Grab a handful of the mixture and shape it into a round, flat burger patty. Place it on the floured plate.
6
Chill
Repeat with the rest of the mixture, then lightly dust all 6 burgers with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
7
Cook
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the burgers on a foil-lined baking sheet and cook for 8 minutes per side until fully cooked.
