Donald Trump's Turkey Burger: One of the Most Amazing Turkey Burgers You Will Ever Taste

Turkey Burger Heaven
Eating healthy is not the easiest thing to do, but once you taste this Turkey Burger, you might change your mind about that. In fact, you may just have a whole new take on eating turkey altogether. Exotic and distinctive, the ingredients in this recipe change an ordinary turkey burger into an experience. When I saw this recipe on Oprah, I knew I had to try it. When I tried it, I knew I had to have it again... that's how good it is.

When Oprah tried this Turkey Burger at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's private club in Palm Beach, she was hooked. She calls it the best turkey burger in the entire world. You'll have to decide for yourself, though. Me? I'm giving it two thumbs up.

Mar-a-Lago Turkey Burger

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

1 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

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 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 and your favorite toasted bread, pita or hamburger roll.

Mar-a-Lago's Pear Chutney, taken also from Oprah's website and courtesy of Jeff O'Neill:

Ingredients: Serves 6

1 Anjour pear, peeled and diced

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1 1/2 cups Major Grey's Chutney

1/4 cup dried currants or raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Toss the diced pears with the cinnamon and salt. Bake on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for 10 minutes.

Cool and mix with the chutney and currants or raisins.

If you choose not to put the chutney in the burger or serve on the side, the apples and seasonings still make this a distinctive and tasty burger.
