Ingredients
4medium firm, crisp apples (about 1 3/4 pounds), such as Braeburn or Honeycrisp
2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil
1large shallot, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
2tablespoonsbrandy or apple cider
1teaspoondried rubbed sage
1teaspoonpoultry seasoning
½teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonground pepper
8ounces93%-lean ground turkey
8ounceslean ground pork (see Tip)
Directions
Cut apples in half through the stem. Cut a tiny slice off the uncut side so the halves lie flat, if necessary. Using a melon baller or spoon, discard the core and seeds, then remove most of the apple flesh, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick shell. Finely chop the flesh.
Heat oil, shallot and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until it starts to sizzle. Add the chopped apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large shallow bowl and stir in brandy (or cider), sage, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Mix turkey and pork into the apple mixture. Stuff each apple half with about 1/3 cup of the mixture. Place the stuffed apples in the prepared baking dish.
Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the filling reaches 165 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve drizzled with any pan juices.
Tips
Depending on your supermarket, it might be hard to find a lean option for ground pork. But it’s easy to make your own in a food processor. Choose a lean cut, such as loin or tenderloin. Cut into pieces and then pulse in a food processor until uniformly ground (being careful not to overprocess, turning the meat into mush). Or ask your butcher to grind it for you. Using lean pork instead of regular ground pork saves up to 164 calories and 5 grams of saturated fat per 3 ounces of cooked meat.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
