Sage and Apple Turkey Burgers are a great quick dinner idea. Great flavors, gluten-free and only 5 ingredients! Can be served with or without a bun.
Ingredients
  • 1 lb (454 grams) lean ground turkey
  • ⅓ cup grated apple
  • ⅓ cup grated onion
  • ½ cup grated zucchini (I had some previously shredded and frozen. I thawed and squeezed out excess water)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp fresh sage leaves, chopped
Instructions
  1. Mix together all the ingredients (clean hands work best). Mixture will be quite wet.
  2. Loosely form into 6 burgers.
  3. Heat your large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, mist with cooking spray.
  4. Place burgers in the pan and flatten out. Cook approx. 4 min on each side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve with or without a bun. If you use a bun, it would be great with apple butter and light mayo! I served with no bun, yam fries and steamed swiss chard.
Notes
Tip: If you cook at too high of heat, they will burn and remain raw inside. Best to cook slower on medium heat.
