Apple Turkey Burgers with Brie on large blue platter

Apple Turkey Burgers with Brie

Penny Kovacs
These delicious apple turkey burgers with melted brie and caramelized shallots are so savory and remind me of a brisk fall day!  You won't only find a few thinly sliced wedges of tart granny smith apples on top of the burgers but there is also shredded apple mixed into the burgers as well making them the most tender and juiciest burgers ever!   Be sure to whip up the 4 ingredient Dijon Sauce for drizzling over the burgers as the perfect topping!  It's also delicious for dipping your fries in or as pictured here, crispy smashed potatoes.  Omit the brie to keep these burgers Paleo and Whole30 friendly.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Organic Ground Turkey or ground chicken, I like Grass Roots Coop
  • 1 Granny Smith Apple cored but not peeled, ½ grated and ½ thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Sage, dried
  • ½ teaspoon Thyme, dried
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 5 Shallots large, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided
  • 3 oz Brie Cheese sliced into thin wedges, omit to keep this Whole30 and Paleo friendly
  • Dijon Sauce:
  • ½ cup Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Aminos
  • ¼ teaspoon Thyme, dried

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside
  • Heat half of the oil in a pan over medium heat
  • Add the sliced shallots and cook slowly tossing frequently until they are nicely browned. This takes about 15 minutes. Once browned moved to a paper towel lined plate
  • Meanwhile, combine turkey, grated apple, Dijon, thyme, sage, salt and pepper. Mix with hands to combine but do not overwork the mix. Make 4 burger patties
  • Add remaining oil to pan and allow it to heat up
  • Add burgers to pan and cook for 4 minutes covered
  • Flip burgers and cook for 2 minutes then divide onions evenly over the 4 burgers.
  • Add brie slices to top of onions, cover and cook about 2-3 minutes longer or until brie is nicely melted. Burger temperature should read 165˚ at thickest part
  • Remove to plate and add apple slices to top of burgers
  • Enjoy!
