Apple Dijon Turkey Burgers

Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 pound extra-lean ground turkey breast (all-white meat variety)
• 1 granny-smith apple (washed, peeled, and cubed)
• 1/4 cup cauliflower florets, top only
• 1 celery stalk, washed and cut into chunks
• 2 tbsp onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp whole-grain dijon mustard
• salt and pepper, dash of each
• 4 whole-grain sandwich thins (about 100 calories each) or use lettuce wraps for a low-carb, Paleo, or gluten-free option

METHOD

1. Chop the celery, onion, and garlic and place in a large bowl. Add the mustard, salt and pepper and stir until combined.
2. Put the cauliflower florets and apple pieces in a food processor or mini food chopper and pulse until chopped uniformly (you can also finely chop them by hand). *Be careful not to overchop or the mixture will become too wet to form into burgers*
3. Add to the celery mixture then add the ground turkey breast. Stir until evenly combined.
4. Form into four patties and place in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and liberally coat with cooking spray.
6. Grill burgers for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
7. Serve with lettuce, tomatoes and dijon mustard if desired.
