Sweet and savory turkey burgers with apple, maple, herbs, and Havarti tucked inside and melted on top.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• ¼ cup finely diced apple
• 2 tbsp quick-cooking oats
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1½ tsp thyme
• 1 tsp rosemary
• ½ tsp salt
• Havarti cheese, for stuffing and topping
• Olive oil, for the pan
• Buns and your favorite burger toppings (I made a maple Dijon mustard)

Instructions

1. Mix the turkey, apple, oats, egg, maple syrup, Dijon, herbs, and salt until just combined.

2. Form into patties, tucking a small piece of Havarti into the center of each. Seal the edges well so the cheese stays inside.

3. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers for about 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the centers reach 165°F.
