These turkey burgers are divine! Moist and juicy, they are busting with all the fabulous fall flavors. The sweeteness of the apple and sage pairs amazingly with the sharpness of the cheddar and then you add the crunch of the celery and its perfection! Serve with Dijon mustard, with or without a bun. I like to eat mine wrapped in lettuce leaves. Enjoy!
