Turkey Burgers

Sorry no dinners lately, I've been under the weather. Here are the fancy turkey burgers we did earlier this week using the forum recipe that calls for Major Grey's Chutney.

We used some pecan wood to help with coloring and they were GREAT!

My wife does not eat beef so we are more of a turkey burger kind of family. What is major Greys? I'm looking for a really good turkey burger recipe.

Here's a link to the manufacturer's information about Major Grey's Chutney:

Here's a link to the recipe found on this forum:

I varied from that recipe a little, primarily because there's only three of us, and we should not eat four pounds of turkey burgers!

Here's what I did:
1/4 cup vidalia onions, diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup carrots, diced
1 1/2 Granny Smith apples, peeled/diced
1.25 pounds ground turkey breast
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp chipotle Tabasco sauce
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
2 Tbsp Major Grey's chutney (too lazy to puree)
Pineapple Head Rub

I steamed the veggies in the microwave so I could eliminate the oil, and I eliminated the salt because we're watching sodium intake. I made four big patties and rubbed them with DP Pineapple Head and let them sit in the fridge overnight. We cooked them at 350 degrees direct for 7-8 minutes on each side with the pecan wood for color/smoke.

We love turkey burgers, we did those last night on the small....we season them with Cavendars greek seasoning.....they come out GREAT, after we add lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, cheese and a toasted bun, it's hard to tell the difference

Doc made me switch to Turkey burgers too, and always use Orange or mango chutney to add some moisture. Honestly, when dressed and properly seasoned (Cavenders is a great choice per above), hard to tell apart from lean beef. Good stuff, and yours look great. One trick is to flip ONCE, and only once. I usually wait about 7 mins.

One flip--that's what we did, too. Works great!
