Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 medium Apple (grated, with peel)
• 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 whole Burger buns
• 4 whole Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Sliced tomato
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated apple, bread crumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, approximately ¾-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, place the turkey patties in the pan in a single layer, ensuring enough space between them.

Step 6

Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, then carefully flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

While the burgers are cooking, optionally toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a clean skillet until lightly golden.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of mayonnaise if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
