Apple Cheddar Turkey Burgers With Chipotle Yogurt Sauce

October 19, 2011

These ground turkey burgers are a leaner, healthier alternative to beef. Since white meat turkey tends to easily dry out, we've added shredded apple and finely diced onion to add moisture and flavor, and a nice sharp cheddar to boost the taste even more! Serve on a bed of lightly dressed salad greens or spinach.

Apple Cheddar Turkey Burgers With Chipotle Yogurt Sauce

Burger ingredients:

1 pound ground turkey (give or take a few ounces depending on package weight)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 apple, cored and seeded, then grated (peel on)

1/4 onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup bread crumbs

Salt and pepper

Yogurt sauce:

1 cup plain yogurt

1-2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce (or your favorite hot sauce or salsa)

Garnish with diced green onions

Mix burger ingredients in a bowl and shape into 4-6 patties. Grill (or pan fry) for about 2 minutes each side, or until juices run clear. Serve with a dollop of chipotle yogurt sauce on a bed of lightly dressed greens.
