Apple-Sage Turkey Burgers with Garlic Aioli (PRINT RECIPE)
Makes 4-5 burgers; total time 35 minutes

Ingredients:
For the burgers:
1 ¼ pounds organic, free range ground turkey
¼ cup almond meal (omit if you are sensitive to nuts or don't have any)
2 scallions, thinly diced
2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced
½ cup shredded apple (sweet or tart)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, red palm oil, or grapeseed oil
4-8 large leaf lettuce leaves for burger wraps (like Boston, Butter, or Bibb Lettuce) (sub burger buns of choice)

For the aioli:*
¼ cup organic mayonnaise made from cage free eggs and olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
*leave out aioli and just use Dijon mustard as garnish if you want an egg-free meal.
​
Directions:

1. Combine all burger ingredients through black pepper in a large bowl and mix until well incorporated. (I use my hands to do this best).
2. Form 4-6, 1-inch thick patties.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil, and tilt to coat. Once hot, add burgers and cook 5-7 minutes per side or until grilled brown on the outside and cooked through.
4. While burgers cook, combine aioli ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined.
5. Serve burgers inside lettuce wraps with 1 tablespoon aioli on top.
