INGREDIENTS
For the Burgers

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  
• 1 lb of ground turkey
  
• 8 mini hamburger buns
  
  For the BBQ Sauce
  
  
• salt
  
• pepper
  
• 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke
  
• 1 tablespoon of worchershire sauce
  
• 2 tablespoon of chiptole paste
  
• 3 tablespoon of ketchup
  
  For the apple coleslaw
  
  
• salt
  
• pepper
  
• 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar
  
• 2 tablespoons of white vinegar
  
• 1/3 cup granny smith apple, sliced thinly
  
• 1/3 cup of shredded cabbage
  
• 1/3 cup of shredded red cabbage
  

(If you can find a ready made bag of shredded cabbage and red cabbage, I suggest getting that)

I recommend making the apple coleslaw and BBQ sauce ahead of time, especially if you plan on traveling to a friend's house to make these. It will save you a ton of time and it'll be easier for you to bring a container full of coleslaw or sauce instead of bringing each individual ingredient.

PROCEDURE

Prep time for this will take about 20 minutes. Cook time is roughly 12 minutes. This makes 4 servings.

1. Thoroughly combine your BBQ sauce ingredients (salt, pepper, liquid smoke, worchershire sauce, chipotle paste, ketchup) in a bowl.
   
2. Pour your 2/3 BBQ sauce over your ground turkey and stir the sauce through the turkey. Reserve the 1/3 of the BBQ sauce for the burgers.
   
3. Shape your ground turkey into small patties. You should create about 8 patties.
   
4. Set a pan on high heat and add your olive oil. When the pan becomes hot, place your patties in the pan. You may have to cook them in separate batches. Cook the patties for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove patties when done.
   
5. Place chopped apples and both shredded cabbages in a bowl.
   
6. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, vinegar, and sugar. Stir to combine to create the dressing.
   
7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
   
8. Place 1 patty on each of the burger buns (optional: place 1/2 teaspoon of BBQ sauce over the patty) then top with some of the apple slaw.
