Oprah Turkey Burgers (original Mar-a-Lago)

By Hapemom

Oprah found a new favorite food when she tried this turkey burger at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's private club in Palm Beach. "I believe it may be the best turkey burger in the entire world," she says. She asked for the recipe, which they politely declined. So, she called Donald Trump and the recipe was personally delivered to her on her show. These are great on buns, or by themselves. Everyone always asks for more (and for the recipe). Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
• 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
• 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
• 1/8 cup canola oil
• 4 lbs. ground turkey breast
• 2 tbs salt
• 2 tbs
• Black pepper
• 2 tsp. chipotle Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
• 1 lemon juiced and zest grated
• 1/2 bunch parsley finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Major Gray’s Chutney, pureed

Preparation

Step 1

Saute the celery, scallions, and apples in the canola oil until tender, let cool.

Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add sautéed items and the remaining ingredients. Shape into 8 burgers and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Season the burgers with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated lightly oiled grill. Grill each side for 7 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked.

Let sit for 5 minutes. Serve with pear chutney on rolls.

NOTE: If you want smaller burgers, make 12 patties instead of 8. That still makes a generous burger.
