The trick to these moist burgers???  Shredded apple!  Mmmmm…  This is a favorite in my house and I recently made an update to it.  After you try it, it’ll be a favorite in yours too! Pineapple Apple Turkey Burgers are sure to be a hit! I usually serve it with sweet potato fries and a green veggie, but it’d go with almost anything!

**UPDATE**

My husband grilled these burgers up tonight for dinner and he added something that I think made the recipe TEN times better, barbeque sauce!  Mmmmm…. He made the burgers like the instructions below state, but while they were cooking he squirt a bit of bbq sauce on them and it made such a HUGE difference in taste.  I don’t think I’ll go back to the old way anymore.  It was THAT good!
