Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
½ medium apple (such as honeycrisp or fuji), peeled and finely grated
2 tbsp fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 tbsp coconut oil

For the slaw

2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned or coarsely grated
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
¼ tsp fine sea salt

For serving

8 large butter lettuce leaves, for wrapping
1 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

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.
2
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.
