Apple and Ginger Pork Burgers (Reduced Fat) image

This is my latest creation in my attempt to make comfort foods like burgers more healthy. We love a good burger but I am on a low fat diet. So, every Friday for the past few weeks, rather than going out to have fatty fast food meal I have been trying to invent a different type of reduced fat burger. This was the invention from tonight and I think it made the transition from brain to plate fairly well. I had mine simply with a bit of fat free mayo and a slice of tomato and my partner had a bit of ketchup and some onions.
