Ingredients

2 pounds ground turkey breast

4 scallions, finely chopped

1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (a generous handful)

1 tablespoon grill seasoning

1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)

1 apple, such as granny smith, cut into 12 slices

8 slices extra-sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce

2 tablespoons grainy mustard

4 sandwich-size english muffins, split and toasted

8 leaves red- or green-leaf lettuce

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine the turkey, scallions, parsley, grill seasoning and poultry seasoning. Form into 4 patties, pressing your thumb into the center of each to prevent it from bulging.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 6 minutes on each side for medium. Top each with 3 apple slices and 2 cheese slices, tent the pan with foil and cook until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce and mustard; slather on the muffin tops. Pile 2 lettuce leaves on each muffin bottom, top with the patties and set the muffin tops into place.
