I made these burgers because I LOVE "Chevrai Cranberry and Cinnamon" goat cheese. I wanted to use it in a dish rather than just as part of a cheese and crackers plate. So, this recipe was born. These burgers are great to eat in my favourite season- fall!
What you'll need:
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (pork or chicken would also work, beef would not)
- 1 apple, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped fine
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup fine ground bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper
- Chevrai Cranberry and Cinnamon Goat Cheese
- Buns of your choice
1. Place the turkey in a mixing bowl and add in egg, onions, apple, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Mix together with your hands
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On top of the paper, place a greased cooling rack. Form the meat mixture into 6 patties using your hands. Put an indentation in the middle of each burger to help keep them from forming balls during cooking.3. Place under the broiler for 10 minutes per side. After each side has been broiled, you may need to turn down the heat to 400 or so for 10 minutes extra to ensure the patties are cooked through. I used my meat thermometer set to poultry to make sure they were cooked. Note: these could also be cooked on a BBQ.
4. When they are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest while you prepare the buns and sides.
5. Assembly: choose any bun you like for burgers. I chose the "PC Multigrain Thins" for these because they are nice thin buns that get really crispy when you toast them. Whatever bun you choose, make sure you toast them.
Place a burger on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Place a chunk of the cranberry goat cheese on it and cover with the top half of the bun.
I served this with a mixed green salad with balsamic dressing and red grapes. The burgers would also go well with sweet potato fries. They are easy to make and really tasty!
