- ½ tsp ground turmeric

For the slaw
- 2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded

Instructions
- 1
Make the slaw: in a medium bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and julienned apple with the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly coated. Set aside while you prepare the patties — the cabbage will soften slightly as it sits.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated apple, chopped sage, minced garlic, turmeric, ginger, and 1 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as the ingredients are evenly distributed to keep the patties tender.
