Combine the ground chicken, grated butternut squash, finely chopped red onion, finely chopped apple, minced garlic, dried thyme, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Form the chicken mixture into four inches (10 centimeters) in diameter patties.
Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Cook in batches if necessary.
Serve warm and enjoy!
