You need to try the best burger recipe ever: Juicy Apple Turkey Burgers with a Sweet + Savory California Raisin spread that hits every flavor note. I'm so excited to present this recipe in collaboration with @raisins.caCalifornia Raisins are naturally sweet with no added sugar, fat-free, cholesterol-free, and a good source of potassium and fibre. This makes them a nutrient-packed, 100% fruit ingredient that adds rich sweetness and a sticky texture perfect for spreads, sauces, and savory dishes, just like this one. My tip for the best homemade burgers? Chilling for 15-30 minutes before cooking = ultimate juicy burger. So if you need an easy elevated homemade burger perfect for grilling season, this summer burger recipe is your new go-to! #burger #turkeyburger #summer #grilling #recipe #easyrecipe #dinnerideas #healtyrecipes #healthydinnerideas #cookout #grillingseason #summerdinnerideas #easydinnerideas #grillingideas #feelgoodfood #recipeshare #recipevideo
