Johnny Appleseed burgers - recipe - Sunset's Kitchen Cabinet

J. Hill, Sacramento

1 pound ground turkey

1/4 pound bulk pork sausage

1 large egg white

1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs

1/2 cup peeled and finely chopped tart apple

1/4 cup minced onion

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

4 toasted hamburger buns

Apple cabbage slaw (recipe follows)

Salt

Mix together turkey, sausage, egg white, bread crumbs, apple, onion, and ginger. Shape into 4 equal-size patties, each about 3/4 inch thick. Lay patties on a lightly oiled grill 4 to 6 inches above a solid bed of medium-hot coals (you can hold your hand at grill level for only 3 to 4 seconds). Cook, turning as needed, until patties are no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 15 to 20 minutes.

Place patties in hamburger buns; top with equal amounts of slaw and add salt to taste. Serves 4.
