Instructions

For burgers:

  • In a food processor (using shred attachment), or by hand, shred apple and carrots. (Or, if you are using pre-shredded, use the chop attachment or dice by hand to make the long strands smaller.) Squeeze apples and carrots dry of excess moisture in a paper towel.
  • Chop parsley, green onion, and shallots (done easily by pulsing a few times in the food processor or chop by hand.)
  • Combine apple, carrots, parsley, shallots, onion, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper mix well.
  • Add the mix to the ground turkey with 1 egg, then portion out 5 burgers.
  • Grill on stovetop on a grill or nonstick pan each side 3-4 minutes (until cooked all the way through, check temp to 165F) or use a George Foreman grill like we did. For the foreman same thing, cook each burger 8-10 minutes flipping halfway through.

For Delicata buns:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Wash the outside of the squash and dry throughly.
  • Cut width ways to get ½ inch rings.
  • Place parchment paper down on baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Lay squash out evenly in one layer. Coat squash with another layer of cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic salt.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender and remove from oven.
