You can prepare the burgers on a skillet or on the grill. If you’re making these burgers for children, you may want to serve the apples and peppers raw and on the side — some children prefer their fruit and veggies that way. Don’t forget to purchase ground white meat turkey. Not all ground turkey is lean, so be choosy.
