Step 1

Combine turkey (or chicken), diced apple, spices, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a large spoon or your hands.

Step 2

Using wet hands, form meat mixture into 12 small patties (Thin is good because they will shrink and fatten up in the pan a bit).

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add oil/fat (about ½ Tbsp. per batch of patties, depending on the size of your pan and whether or not it’s non-stick).

Step 4

Add the patties to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them or it’s difficult to flip them and they won’t brown as well. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned and no longer pink in the center.

Step 5

Remove patties to a plate lined with a paper towel and repeat with remaining oil and turkey mixture.

Step 6

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days – may be frozen for longer storage.
