* TANGY CHERRY-CHIVE MAYO
* 2/3 cup Smucker's® Orchard's Finest® Michigan Red Tart Cherry Preserves
* 1/2 cup real mayonnaise or low-fat mayo
* 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
* BURGER PATTY
* 2-3 teaspoons Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
* 1 cup Jonathan apple, cored and finely chopped
* 1/2 cup sweet yellow onion, finely chopped
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
* 1/2 cup chopped crispy bacon
* 16 ounce roll ground chicken
* 1 egg (or egg white)
* 1 1/4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
* 1 1/2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
* BURGER ASSEMBLY
* 5 slices provolone cheese, for topping
* 5 sourdough English muffins, split and toasted
* 5-10 thin slices red onion

Preparation
- HEAT broiler on high. Spray broiler pan with no-stick cooking spray.
- COMBINE the preserves, mayonnaise and chives in a small bowl, set aside.
- HEAT a large skillet with the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the apples and onions; season well with salt and pepper.
- COOK and stir until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- STIR in the panko crumbs, and then transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool.
- ADD all the remaining burger ingredients into the apple mixture, season with salt and pepper; mix to combine.
- FORM the mixture into 5 patties (thinner at the center and thicker at the edges for even cooking). *Mixture should be pretty sticky for a moist burger, but you may sprinkle in a little extra panko crumbs if needed
- PLACE patties on broil pan on the center rack. Broil for 7-10 minutes, or just until centers are no longer pink, flipping once.
- PLACE one slice of cheese on top of each patty the last minute of cooking.
- ASSEMBLE burgers on bottoms of split toasted muffins by layering lettuce, patty, Cherry-Chive Mayo, and 1-2 slices of red onion. Top with remaining split muffins and enjoy!!
