These Cheddar Apple Turkey Burgers are grilled to perfection and topped with Kerrygold Aged Cheddar, sliced Gala apples, chopped walnuts, fresh spinach, and a healthy dose of apple butter. They’re the perfect blend of savory and sweet and ideal for early fall grilling!
Have you ever given someone a gift you liked so much, you almost wanted to keep it for yourself? Well, I think that happened recently…..but not with anything I would have expected. No, it was with Jorden’s new Weber grill. The one I got him for Father’s Day. I am loving it! (Probably a little too much……)
Okay, definitely a little too much. Jorden is most definitely not so keen on the fact that I’ve been using it so freely. And to some extent, I can understand. It is his new toy, after all….and it’s never a good idea to come between a man and his grill….
But when I had the idea for these Cheddar Apple Turkey Burgers, I knew it couldn’t wait. The cheese, the apples, the walnuts, the apple butter. It had to happen, STAT! And once I tasted them, I knew all would be forgiven.
Although, I must say……when I looked at the aftermath of grilling these bad boys, I did have a twinge of guilt. Melted. cheese. everywhere. I guess that’s what I get for loading them up and making them so amazing. And you better believe I have no regrets.
