Sounds like a great way to serve gourmet in my own kitchen. Thanks.
delicious!
I love playing with food and burgers are SO versatile!
Those sound very nice – a great change from “ordinary” burgers!
These sound so good!
Those look really amazing. Do you eat them on a bun or just with a salad?
These sound delish! I love the combo of the apple and cheese.
Thanks for sharing!
Have a great day!

These sound wonderful! I love blue cheese so very much. 🙂 Love the idea of pairing it with apple- I’ll probably go with granny smith just because I love that tart bite. Thanks for sharing!
Brenda – I guess you can’t tell by the photo, but we ate the burgers on ‘sandwich thins’. I think they might be a fairly new product, but the brand I buy is only 100 calories and does not have hfcs. We like them and they help with our portion control.
Thanks everyone for the comments!
These look great! I am a HUGE fan of turkey burgers and usually just add some barbecue sauce or something similar, but this sounds divine! I can’t get enough of recipes with only a few ingredients, so this will definitely be on my list of things to make. Thanks!
I’ve tried to love turkey burgers, I really have. I usually will eat one and then feel slightly unsatisfied. THIS recipe though is a different story. I bet I would LOVE this! Thanks for posting it 🙂

This sounds good. I love me some blue cheese! Does the apple make it sweet or does the tang of the blue cheese cut that sweetness? I am definitely going to have to try this.
Love the ground turkey and apple combo for these. They look great and I’m a big fan of the little multi-grain buns too. Thanks!
Sweet Bee Cottage – I used a gala, which isn’t that sweet, but I think the apple balanced the tang of the cheese.
Thanks everyone for the comments!
