Dinner time is always a struggle at my house. Although my girls eat a lot of different foods, they both don’t always agree on what they like. When it comes to turkey, the little one loves a Turkey Apple Picadillo recipe I make, meanwhile my older one will only eat plain turkey burgers. I decided tonight to change it up and made apple turkey burgers stuffed with a Rumiano lactose free organic cheddar.
This was only my 2nd time using my Victoria cast iron grill pan (non-gmo flaxseed seasoned!), but I love it!
I served the burgers with steamed sweet potatoes (24 min on manual in the Instant Pot), and a strawberry spinach salad.
Ingredients
2 organic apples, finely diced
1 lb organic ground turkey
2 tsp organic Dijon mustard
1tsp organic turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp minced onion
1/2 cup diced organic Rumiano lactose free sharp cheddar
Avocado oil for the pan
Yields 5 medium burgers
Directions
1. Finely dice the apples and place in a bowl. Dice the cheddar cheese and set aside.
2. In the bowl with the apples, add the ground turkey, dijon, turmeric, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and minced onion.
3. Gently mix the ingredients and form a patty slightly smaller than you normally would.
4. Heat up the oil in your cast iron pan.
5. Take a small handful of the cheddar cubes and place in the middle of the burger. Add a small amount of meat mixture to the top of the cheese to completely close off the cheese from the outside of the burger. Place in pan.
6. Cook the burgers until 165°F, flipping them over once in the process.
