Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lb ground chicken preferably thigh meat
  • 1 small apple peeled and grated, squeezed to yield 1/3 cup
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1/4 tsp ground fennel seed
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 4 whole-wheat bagels split
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tsp maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Gently mix chicken, squeezed apple, sage, fennel, salt, and pepper. Shape four equal patties about 4 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Cook uncrowded patties 5 to 6 minutes per side until browned and centers reach 165°F; lower heat if darkening too quickly.
  3. Meanwhile, mix softened butter and maple syrup until smooth. Broil only cut bagel faces 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Spread maple butter evenly over both warm cut faces. Place one cooked sausage patty on each bottom.
  5. Close; rest 1 minute and halve. Keep patties intact to retain juices rather than soak bread.
