Ingredients
Basil Mayo
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Basil Leaves finely chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
Burgers
- 1 pound Ground Chicken
- ½ cup Grated Apple I tend to use golden delicious
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Garlic cloves pressed or finely minced
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
Assembly
- 1 Apple thinly sliced (I used golden delicious)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- Gouda Cheese Sliced
- 4 Buns of choice Gluten free, if needed
Instructions
- Mix together mayo and basil, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
- Combine chicken, grated apple, salt, pepper, and garlic. Gently use hands to get a really good mix going, making sure that everything evenly distributed and everything is well incorporated. Divide meat mixture into 4 evenly sized balls. Flatten each ball into a patty that is roughly the size of your burger buns – maybe a little larger.
- Brush one side of each burger with olive oil, flip over onto grill, brush the other side with olive oil. Grill over medium heat until fully cooked. This is poultry – please cook until well done!
- While burgers are grilling, saute apple slices in olive oil and salt until they start to tenderize. You want a slight amount of crunch, but not TOO much!
- To assemble the burgers:
- Split the buns, spreading basil mayo on both halves of each bun. Arrange a layer of apple slices on top of the bottom bun half.. Top with burger, and a generous layer of gouda slices. Crown with top bun, enjoy!
