TURKEY CHEESE BURGERS

1 cup shredded apple
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dry
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
dash of freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
2-4 oz creamy blue cheese
4 whole-wheat pita bread halves, lettuce, and tomatoes slices to serve

Add the turkey, apple, sage, parsley nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix until combined.

Shape the turkey mixture into 8 thin patties. Place one-fourth of the cheese in the center of 4 patties. Top with remaining patties, sealing the edges. Preheat a grill broiler. Grill for 10 minutes, or until turkey is cooked through and a thermometer inserted sideways into the burgers registers 165F (75C).
