Cinnamon Apple Turkey Burgers

I was craving cinnamon apples the other day, so I decided to incorporate them into a turkey burger.


Burger:

- ~1/2lb ground turkey meat (this made 2 decent sized patties)
- 1/3 an onion (finely chopped)
- Small handful of craisins (optional)
- 1 small granny smith apple (finely chopped)
- Cinnamon, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, salt & pepper to taste
- Cheese, your favorite (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and shape into 2 patties. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Grill burgers on a hot, greased, grill for 5-8min per side until cook through (no pink in the middle). After the first flip, top with cheese (i used the shredded sharp cheddar) if desired.

Cinnamon-Apple topper:

- 1 small granny smith apple sliced thinly
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Water
- Butter

Cut a granny smith apple into thin slices. Toss in a bag with enough water to lightly coat. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and brown sugar. Melt a small sliver of butter in a pan of low heat. Pour the apple mixture into the pan. Cover and let cook while the turkey burger are on the grill.

Place each patty on a bun (I used wheat) and top with the cinnamon-apple mixture.
