As we gear up again for our wonderful Once-A-Month-Cooking
Extravaganza, one thing we make every single month is what we affectionately
call: our beloved Mar-a-Lago Turkey Burgers.
They come from a delightful book called Bread & Wine byShauna Niequist. The background story on these little guys is that when Oprah
visited Donald Trump at his famous Palm Beach house, these were
served. She loved them so much she asked for the recipe because they
were the best turkey burgers she'd ever eaten!
So, these are clearly not your run-of-the-mill, boring, dry
turkey burgers.
Oh, no!
These are moist, yummy, and delightful little boogers -
opps, I meant burgers! :)
(Did I seriously just write boogers!) lol!
So, we just had to share them with you. They are
so easy to make, freeze and have ready at a moment's notice (ok, a couple hours
to thaw).
But seriously, they are delish! I think it's the
sweet mango chutney and crunchy Granny Smith apples that gives them the extra
bang!
Everyone here enjoys them and often Kurt and I enjoy them as
extra protein chopped up on a bed of greens.
Here's a fun little video we thought you might enjoy!
So, here's the recipe:
1/4c. scallions, thinly sliced
1/2c. celery, finely chopped
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
Olive Oil
4 lbs. ground turkey breast
1 T salt
1 T black pepper
2 t. Tabasco
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 bunch parsley, finely chopped
1/4 c. mango chutney ( I buy Major Grays at Heinen's)
Sauté the scallions, celery, and apples in the olive oil
until tender. Let cool.
Place the ground turkey in a large mixing
bowl. Add sautéed items and the remaining ingredients. Shape into 12
burgers. (Or we make smaller ones, like slider size, so it makes
more! Usually 16-20) Refrigerate for 2 hours before
making, or throw into the freezer and bag later to have when you want
them. We often double the recipe, so they last hopefully all month
long!
Enjoy!
