Ingredients

Scale

For the burgers

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 2 pounds extra-lean ground turkey
  • 2 apples, grated (1 cup packed)
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked pepper

For the Chipotle yogurt

  • 1/3 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce

For assembly

  • 8 Whole grain English muffins or 8 large leaves of Boston lettuce
  • 1 apple, sliced in 8 thin rounds
  • 8 slices strong cheddar

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, place the olive oil and saute the shallots on medium heat until translucent. Let cool.
  2. In a large bowl, place the shallots and the rest of the ingredients “For the burgers”. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form into 8 patties and reserve on a plate in the fridge until ready to cook.
  4. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients For the chipotle yogurt and reserve.
  5. Preheat the grill to high. Grill until properly cooked through, 13-15 minutes, flipping half-way through. During the last minute of cooking, add 1 slice of cheddar on the burger and cover the grill pan to let the cheese melt.
  6. Serve over English muffin or in lettuce cups with 1 slice of apple, lettuce and a dollop of chipotle yogurt. Serve with a side of sweet potato wedges.

Notes

  • You may skip the step of sautéing the shallots and add them in raw to save on time, however I like mellowing them out by sautéing them slightly. Both delicious!
  • You may also bake them in a 425 degree Fahrenheit oven for 20-22 minutes, until cooked through.
  • If you are going to eat them at a later date, individually wrap the patties and freeze them. Defrost them in the fridge the night before you plan on cooking them.
