Looking for new dinner recipe to try? Turkey burgers are a great alternative to the ever common beef burger. This recipe is paired with apple to keep it moist and full of flavor; its sure to be a hit with all your dinner guests!
- 2 lbs ground turkey breast*
- 1 apple, grated (1 cup)
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Bragg’s or Tamari soy seasoning
- 1 egg, free run
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 6 whole or sprouted grain buns**
- Pre-heat BBQ or grill. (Or pre-heat oven to 350º).
- Mix together ground turkey, apple, garlic, Bragg’s or Tamari sauce, egg and pepper. (Mixture will be very wet and soft.)
- Divide meat mixture into 6-7 portions and pat out to about ½” thickness. They will be about 4 to 6 inches round. (Burgers will shrink a lot so make them a little larger than the buns diameter). Cook about 5 min and flip and cook on the other side about 5 minutes or until done (no longer pink in the middle and juices run clear). If cooking in the oven, cook for 15-20 minutes or until juices run clear (cooking times will vary depending on oven).
- Top with Yogurt Basil Sauce (or your favorite sauce) and add desired veggies such as avocadoes, chives or spinach.
- *Look for free range turkey that is raised free of anti-biotics.
- **For a gluten free variation, look for brown rice wraps, or try Boston lettuce leaves as a wrap for a fresh twist!
