Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon fig jam
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1½ pounds ground turkey, 93%
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 apple
  • 4 ounce goat cheese, softened, divided into 4 pats
  • olive oil or cooking spray
  • baby lettuce leaves
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked, 1½ slices per burger
  • 4 brioche buns, toasted

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine fig jam, Dijon and mayonnaise until it's smooth. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add ground turkey, thyme, sage, kosher salt and some black pepper.
  • Cut the apple in half and remove the core and stem. From one half, cut 12 thin slices, about 1/8" thick. You won't slice the entire half, so save the remainder for the next step. Set the slices aside to top your burgers later. If you'd like, put them in a bowl of cool water with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning. Pat them dry before assembling the burgers.
  • Peel the remaining apple and grate it using a box grater. Add this to the mixing bowl with the turkey. Mix it all together just until the ingredients are well distributed.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal balls. Divide each of those in half for a total of 8. Flatten 4 into patties. Take a pat of goat cheese and flatten it into a wide disk. Place one on each patty. Flatten the remaining four balls and place one atop each burger, sealing the goat cheese in by gently pinching the edges together.
  • Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with a little olive oil or spray. Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. You want to cook the turkey all the way through (to 165°F) and for the goat cheese to be warm and soft. Cooking time may vary depending on your burner or skillet.
  • To assemble, spread the figgy dijonnaise on the top and bottom of each brioche bun. Add baby lettuces, the burgers, bacon and apple slices.
