This recipe was introduced to me by my wonderful mother-in-law, Kay Shipe. The burgers are juicy and highly seasoned; do reduce the seasoning accordingly if you use less than 4 lbs. of turkey. The recipe is from the Mar-A-Largo restaurant in Florida. For the full unedited recipe from Oprah.com, click here. Kate and I made some small changes to the recipe--our version listed below:
Serves 6
4 pounds ground turkey breast
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
3 Granny Smith apples , peeled and diced
1 Tbls. plus 1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. Tabasco® chipotle pepper sauce
1 lemon, juiced and grated zest
1/2 bunch parsley , finely chopped
1/4 cup Major Grey's Chutney, pureed*
olive oil, for frying
Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients (except oil). Shape into burgers. Refrigerate for 2 hours. (Or cook right away! I've done it several times.)
Place on a preheated, lightly oiled grill. Grill each side for about 5 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Serve with a side of Major Grey's Chutney.*
*Kate created a fantastic mango chutney to replace the store-bought Major Grey's Chutney. I will get her to post the recipe soon! (hint, hint, if you are reading this, Kate!)
