How-to
Prepare Burgers
-
Combine apples with lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper and mix well
-
Add turkey and blend together until all the ingredients are combined evenly
-
Form into 4 or 4½ oz burgers about ¼" to ½" thick
-
In a non-stick pan heat olive oil over medium heat
-
Add burgers and sear on one side until juice begins to rise up through the burger and the outside edges begin to cook and whiten, about 4 minutes
-
Flip the burger and press down slightly. This will even out the burgers, seal in the juice and prevent them from "puffing up." Continue to cook until the juice runs clear, about 4 minutes. Do not overcook as that will dry out your burger
