Trump's Mar-a-Lago Turkey Burger

With me eating vegetarian this week, Brian has been surviving on frozen pizza and snacks. He refuses to eat "bunny food" with me so i'm going to make some turkey burgers for him to have in the 'fridge. I was surprised to notice I've never posed Oprah's favorite burger: The Mar-a-lago Turkey Burger. Mar-a-lago is one of Donald Trump's Resorts.  Oprah went to Mar-a-lago and loved this burger so much, she had the head chef of the resort come on her show and go through the recipe. I've been making this burger for a couple years now, and it's always a hit. The most interesting thing about this recipe; green apples!



INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
• 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
• 1/8 cup canola oil
• 4 lbs ground turkey breast
• 2 Tbsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. black pepper
• 2 tsp. chipotle Tabasco
• 1 lemon, juice and grated zest
• 1/2 brunch parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Major Grey's Chutney, pureed

METHOD

• Sauté the scallions, celery 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-ounce burgers. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

• After refridgeration, season the turkey burgers with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated, lightly oiled grill. Grill each side 7 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked. Let sit 5 min.
• Serve with a side of Mar-a-Lago Pear Chutney and your favorite toasted bread, pita or hamburger roll.
