Turkey Burger with lettuce on a plate

Mar-a-Lago Turkey Burgers

This recipe makes 8 large burgers.  Feel free to cut in half and make 4 large or 6 smaller burgers. I've omitted the lemon quite often and they're terrific without it, just FYI!

  • 4 pounds ground turkey breast or 85/15 turkey
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt

  • 2 teaspoons tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 lemon zested then juiced
  • 1/2 bunch parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup Major Grey's Chutney

  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 4 tablespoons Major Grey's Chutney
  • FOR ASSEMBLY
  • 4-6 good quality hamburger buns

Instructions

  • In a saute pan over medium-low heat, sauté the celery, apples, and green onions in butter until tender.  Let cool.  Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.  Add sauteed items and the remaining ingredients.  Shape into eight 8-ounce burgers.  Refrigerate for 2 hours to firm.
  • To make burger spread, combine mayo and chutney and whisk until smooth,  Feel free to add more chutney as desired.
  • Season the turkey burgers with salt and pepper.  Place on preheated, lightly oiled grill.  Grill each side for 7 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.  Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • To serve, toast buns if desired and spread with sauce.  Add toppings as desired like greens, onion and tomato.
  • Try it with a side of Sweet Potato Fries, or some Grilled Corn on the Cob for a great (and healthy!) summer meal.
