Ingredients

Burger Patties

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup finely chopped celery
  • 3 Granny Smith Apples peeled and very finely diced or shredded
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 4 pounds ground turkey breast or 85/15 turkey
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons tabasco sauce
  • ½ lemon zested then juiced
  • ½ bunch parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup Major Grey's Chutney

Burger Spread

  • ¾ cup mayo
  • 4 tablespoons Major Grey's Chutney

For Assembly

  • 8 good quality hamburger buns
  • additional toppings as desired lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, etc.

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℉.  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.

Notes

This meat mixture is on the "wet" side.  Handle carefully.  If preferred, you can also cook these burgers in a skillet.
