Fall Apple Turkey Burgers

• servings: 10 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 lbs ground turkey

1 large apple, I used honeycrisp

1/4 yellow onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

*optional* cheddar cheese slices

1 yellow onion, sliced thin

2 tbsp avocado oil or butter

1/2 tsp salt

Directions

In a bowl, add turkey. Using a box grater, shred apple and onion into turkey meat.

Add in garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and mix until well combined (I use my hands).

Form into patties, I used about 1/2 cup of meat for each.

Heat a large skillet with 2 tbsp avocado oil over medium heat, and once hot, add burgers.

Cook for 5 minutes, flip, then turn the heat to medium low. *if adding cheese, now is the time* Cover for the next 5 minutes so the inside cooks. Repeat until all burgers are cooked.

While burgers are cooking, prepare the caramelized onions. In a separate pan, heat 2 tbsp avocado oil or butter.

Once hot, add in sliced onions and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring every minute or so until caramelized. After about 5 minutes, reduce heat to low. The whole process will take 10-15 minutes.

Assemble your burgers with slices of apples and caramelized onion on top.

Enjoy!
