Mar-a Lago Turkey Burgers

These are from one of Donald Trump's restaurants. Oprah made these on one of her shows, and Oprah and I agree, these are the best turkey burgers ever!

This recipe has been cut down from the original significantly.

1/8 c. scallions, chopped

1/8 c. finely chopped celery

1 small to medium Granny Smith apple

1 lb. ground turkey breast

1/4 tsp. salt and pepper, each

1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce (these do not come out too spicy for kids)

1/4 c. lemon juice mixed with the zest of one lemon

2 T. chopped parsley

2 T. mango chutney

Optional Topping

1 ripe pear, chopped and peeled

1 tsp mango chutney

1 tsp vinegar

dash of garam masala or allspice

1. Saute the scallions, celery and apple in olive oil until soft. Let cool.

2. Mix turkey and rest of ingredients, add the sauteed apple and vegetables.

3. Shape into 4-6 burgers and place on wax or parchment paper in the fridge. Burgers need to be refrigerated for 1-2 hours to firm up, or else they will crumble.

4. Grill or pan fry burgers until done, about 7 minutes on each side.

For optional topping, in a sauce pan, cook the pears and remaining ingredients until just soft and thickened slightly.

Serve burgers on buns with slices of cheddar cheese, optional fruit topping and lettuce.
