Tweaked to make it healthier – these really may be the best turkey burgers you will ever eat!  You can add 1/4 cup TVP

Saute

• 1/4 cup scallions (or 1/2 onion) finely chopped,
• 1/2 cup chopped celery, 2 cloves of garlic,
• 3 chopped apples in 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil – until tender (or 1/2 cup apple sauce).  Let Cool.

Combine:

• 2 lbs (1kg) ground turkey breast
• 1 /2 tsp.  Black pepper
• 2 tsp. Tabasco (or less)
• 1 lemon, juice and grated zest
• 1/2 tsp. parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Major Grey’s chutney, pureed (you can find this product in the international section of major grocery stores)

Shape into approximately 8 burgers.  Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Grill each side for approximately 7 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked.  Serve with Pear Chutney.

Pear Chutney

This pear chutney topping maybe the key to this great turkey burger, although I thought the burgers were great plain.

Preheat oven to 350  or heat large skillet. 

• 1 Pear, peeled and diced
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups Major Grey’s Chutney
• *optional 1/4 cup dried currants or raisins

Bake on parchment-lined cookie sheet for 10 minutes, or saute in skillet for 10 minutes until soft.  The first ingredient in the Major Grey’s Chutney is sugar, so be careful of your portion sizes.
