Instructions
- To make the burgers, mix together the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, maple syrup, sage, thyme, salt and pepper until well combined and the herbs are clearly well-distributed - this is usually easiest by getting your hands in.
- Divide the mixture into 4, roll each into a flattened ball and chill until ready to use - at least 20min will help.
- When ready to grill, make a foil packet to hold the bacon - the slices can overlap slightly - and another for the apple slices.
- Whisk together the maple syrup and oil, toss the apple slices in the mixture then put in their foil packet.
- Start by grilling the burgers on a medium-high heat, with the bacon on a lower heat to the side. After a couple minutes, add the apple packet on the lower heat side. Turn all as needed until cooked (the apple may be a little hard to turn as it may stick - that's fine if it more cooks one side than both, just watch it doesn't burn and take off when gently caramelized.
- Once bacon and apple are cooked, remove from the heat. Put the cheddar slices on the burgers and toast the buns for a minute or two - if you have a gas grill, the best way can be to turn off the heat and close the grill.
- Assemble the burgers by putting the cheese-covered burger on top of the base, topped with the bacon and apple, then enjoy.
