Grate or shred the smaller apple into a large bowl. Add onion, sage, Dijon mustard, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Mix the ingredients well, then add the turkey, and gently mix with your hands. Divide the mixture into four even portions and form patties.<br \/>\n    2. Thinly slice the medium-sized apple crosswise and remove the seeds. Toast the buns. Stir the Dijon and honey together in a small bowl.<br \/>\n    3.To cook the burgers, place a large skillet with a lid over medium heat and heat for about a minute. Spray or brush the pan with canola oil and add the patties. Let cook for about 5 minutes per side, uncovered, then insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the patty. When it reads 160\u00b0F, the burgers are done. (See Tips &#038; Notes below for a grilled version.) Top each patty with a slice of cheddar, cover the skillet, and remove from the heat to allow the cheese to melt a bit. Place each patty on a bun; top with apple slices and honey-mustard spread. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Serving Suggestion<br \/>\nServe these cheeseburgers and with thick-cut potato chips and coleslaw or\u2014to carry the apple theme even further\u2014a Waldorf salad.<\/p>\n<p>Tips &#038; Notes<br \/>\nFor a grilled version, grill the burgers for 4-6 minutes per side until cooked (an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the patty should read 160\u00b0F).<\/p>\n<p>Nutritional Information<br \/>\n480 calories, 20 g. fat, 110 mg. cholesterol, 1010 mg. sodium, 46 g. carbohydrate, 7 g. fiber, 36 g. protein<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.grocery.coop\/recipes\/apple-cheddar-turkey-burgers\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Co+op, Reprinted with permission from grocery Recipe Information Total Time: 30 minutes Servings: 4 Juicy grated apples are the secret to these moist, flavorful burgers.
