Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated apple, sage, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and 1 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indent in the center of each with your thumb to prevent doming.

In a separate bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and carrot with the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly coated. Set aside to lightly soften while you cook the patties.
