1 1/2 lbs ground white meat turkey
1/2 oz skim-milk cheddar cheese, sliced very thin
1/8 tsp kosher salt
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Vegetable cooking spray, as needed
1 large cooking apple, cored, sliced
= (Braeburn, Granny Smith, or Macintosh)
2 oz red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 red pepper, cut julienne strips
4 whole-wheat rolls
Mustard, (optional)
Low-sodium ketchup, (optional)


Shape the turkey into 8 round uniform patties. Top 4 with cheese and top with another patty, pressing the sides of the patty down to enclose the cheese.
Coat 2 skillets with cooking spray. Cook the patties in one skillet and the apple and vegetables in the other until done.
When ready to serve, place a turkey double-patty on each of the 4 rolls, top with apples and vegetables and (if using) pass the mustard and low-sodium ketchup.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
