Apple Chicken Burgers

These were made on our cooking day, again it helped to use up some of my apples and was very easy to put together!

Apple Chicken Burgers- Pillsbury
1 lb ground chicken or turkey(I used breast)
1 apple, peeled, shredded
1/2 small onion, shredded
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup(or more breadcrumbs)*

Mix together ingredients and form into patties. Place on grill and cook until internal temperature is 165.

*I shredded my onion and apple into the bowl that I added my meat too, so it made it VERY VERY wet. I had to add in the breadcrumbs in order to shape the burgers. If you don't do this you might have to add 2 tbsp water.

**The burgers were very moist and flavorful. K and I really liked them. I had one for lunch today and put some apple-cranberry chutney on the top of it and it worked out very well! YUM!

Gyro Burgers

I stumbled upon this recipe in two different places and wanted to give them a try. I combined two recipes, one came from The Taste of Home 2009 Recipe Collection and the other one came from my Aunt's quilt guild cookbook.

Gyro Burgers
1 lb ground beef(or ground turkey)
1/2 onion, diced
3/4 tsp oregano
2 cups plain yogurt(I used greek and sour cream)
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried chives
2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 cucumber, seeded, peeled,chopped
pita
mozzerella cheese

Mix one cup of yogurt with seasonings(except oregano). Place half the mixture in with meat, oregano, and onions. Mix meat together and form patties, grill until done to your likeness. Take the rest of the yogurt and mix it with the cucumber and 1 cup of plain yogurt to make the sauce. Stir and place in fridge. Once burgers are done, place in pitas and top with sauce.

**There was something in the sauce that gave it quite a kick, I'm not sure if it was the garlic or the pepper(which I did cut down in this recipe). Once it was combined with the burger and bread, it was good. Now I've never had a gyro before, but these were good and different, but I can't compare them to the real taste of a gyro!
