How to Make Apple Cheddar Turkey Burgers

1. In a medium bowl, gently combine ground turkey, chopped scallions, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Avoid overmixing.
2. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. Top each patty with 3 apple slices and 2 cheese slices. Tent the skillet with foil and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. While the burgers cook, in a small bowl, mix together cranberry sauce and Dijon mustard.
7. Spread the cranberry mustard mixture evenly onto the muffin tops.
8. Place lettuce leaves on the muffin bottoms. Top with the cooked turkey burgers and cranberry mustard muffin tops. Serve immediately and enjoy!
