Turkey Burgers with Apple and Gruyère
These delicious Turkey Burgers are topped with caramelized apples, shallots, and melted Gruyère cheese for an easy, fall dinner.
Ingredients
For the Burgers:
- 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¾ teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup plain panko (or gluten-free panko)
- 1 cup grated gruyere cheese (or slices)
For the Apples and Shallots:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium sweet apple (such as Gala, cored and sliced thin, about 1 ½ cups)
- 2 large shallots (sliced into rings, about 1 cup)
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the oil, shallots, apple, thyme and salt. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally until the apples and onions are tender, about 16 to 20 minutes. If the mixture starts to get too brown, add a splash of water, about 1 tablespoon at a time (I used 2 total). Transfer to a bowl and stir in the honey. Set aside.
- Meanwhile make the burger patties, add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Mix well to combine evenly. With wet hands, form the mixture into 4 equal patties.
- Heat the large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with oil and place the patties in the pan in an evenly layer. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Continue cooking until the burgers are cooked through, about 5 minutes then top with the gruyere cheese, cover until the cheese is melted, 1 minute more.
- Remove from the pan and serve immediately topped with the apple and shallot mixture.
Notes
Sliced gruyere cheese or grated can be used. Or swap for cheddar, Swiss, etc.
I didn’t feel like these needed extra toppings but feel free to add whatever you like. As far as condiments, you can use little dijon and mayo if serving on a bun.
