Prep
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a small baking tray with parchment, brush lightly with olive oil. Core and coarsely grate the apple, squeeze dry in a clean tea towel. Finely grate the onion and garlic. Finely chop sage, parsley, and thyme. In a bowl, combine turkey, apple, egg white, onion, herbs, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix gently with hands until just combined, avoid overworking.

Bake
