- 1 medium Apple
- 1/4 cup Apple Juice
- 1 tsp Dried Sage
- 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs

- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, panko bread crumbs, and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Form into six patties and chill for up to 30 minutes.
- Cook the patties on a preheated grill for about 6-7 minutes, flipping once and adding cheese during the last minute.
- Toast the brioche buns on the grill, spread the sauce on the bottom, place the burger patty on top, and add any desired toppings.
Notes
- Use turkey bacon for a healthier option.
- Honeycrisp or Fuji apples work best.
