How to Make Apple And Ginger Pork Burgers Reduced Fat

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and gently mix with your hands until thoroughly combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled skillet or grill pan over medium heat. For skillet cooking, add a teaspoon of olive oil. For grilling, lightly brush both sides of each patty with olive oil.
  4. Cook the patties for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and they are cooked through. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your patties and your cooking method.
  5. Serve immediately on buns with your favorite low-fat toppings such as fat-free mayonnaise, tomato slices, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
