Turkey Burgers with Brie and Grilled Apples

Melissa Gardner

Ingredients:
1 package freshly Ground Turkey
3-4 1 inch cubes of Brie Cheese, ½ inch thick
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 large Granny Smith Apple, cored and sliced ½ inch thick crosswise
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
3-4 Rolls

To prepare the burgers, shape the meat firmly into 3-4 round uniform patties about 1 ½ inches thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty and place 1 cube of the cheese in each. Knead the meat slightly to cover the hole. Brush both sides of the burgers lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Cook the burgers to your liking. Brush the apples on both sides with the vegetable oil. Grill until golden on both sides. Place a burger on the bottom of each roll, top with 1 or 2 apple slices and a dollop of ketchup.
