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!

I love anything pineapple, these look like such fun burgers!
What a delicious flavor idea! I love turkey burgers because they absorb so many great flavors – this recipe really accentuates it.
It really was amazing. The pineapple and bbq sauce really make a boring turkey burger into a wow burger!
I love love love the idea of sneaking fruit into a burger! I bet apple adds such an excellent sweetness and texture. Will have to try new time we make burgers.
Testing the comments on my site to make sure they work. In the meantime, make this delicious recipe! It’s SOOOO good!
I love sweet burgers like this. I’ve done pineapple, but never apple. YUM!
