Apple Maple Turkey Burgers



This recipe is courtesy of one my all time favorite Food Network Chef's.... Sandra Lee! I love her cooking show entitled "Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee". The reason why is in the title... semi-homemade. All of her recipes taste and look like they are made from scratch but most of the ingredients are store made or boxed so it cuts your cooking time in 1/2. Gotta love that especially as a mom... These are a favorite in our house...









::Ingredients::

For Maple Dijon Sauce:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1tbs Dijon mustard (or yellow... whatever you have)
2tbs REAL maple syrup

For Burgers:
1 1/4lb ground turkey
1/4 cup real bacon bits (optional)
1/2 cup chunky applesauce
1 tsp poultry seasoning
2tbs real maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper

hamburger buns

condiments



::Instructions::

Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. (I use an indoor grill and they turn out great) Oil grate when ready to start cooking.

For Maple Dijon Sauce: stir all ingredients for sauce in a small bowl

For Burgers: In medium sized bowl, combine all ingredients. Shape into patties. TIP: wet your hands before shaping patties and the meat won't stick to your hands

Put Burgers on the oiled grill... cook about 5 min per side.

Serve on buns with sauce and condiments.

Seriously the BEST burger I have EVER had...

If you don't like the idea of a "turkey burger" you should still give this a try... soooo good and healthier than beef.
