*NOTE: I added 1 Tbsp salt and 1 Tbsp freshly ground pepper along with the other ingredients in the meat mixture before refrigerating. (I thought the original S & P amounts written were WAY too much, and I was right.) I then made 6-oz patties (approx.) and ended up with 13 from one full recipe. One patty with bun was plenty for each guest, IMHO. wigs

Ingredients: Serves 6

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 pounds ground turkey breast

2 Tbsp. salt

2 Tbsp. 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

Saut� the scallions, celery and apples in the canola oil until tender. Let cool.

Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add saut�ed items and the remaining ingredients. Shape into eight 8-ounce burgers. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Season the turkey burgers with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated, lightly oiled grill. Grill each side for 7 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Serve with a side of Mar-a-Lago Pear Chutney (recipe below) and your favorite toasted bread, pita or hamburger roll.
