O. T. --- Turkey Burger from the Oprah Show yesterday

 Did anyone get to copy the recipe?  I was heading out teh door, and missed it.  I remember it had apples in it.

Thanks in advance if you have it and will share it with me. 

For those who missed the show, this was Oprah's first ever Favorite Things for Summer.  She opened with saying this was the best Turkey Burger she has ever eaten.  

"Oprah found a new favorite food when she tried this turkey burger at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's private club in Palm Beach. "I believe [it] may be the best turkey burger in the entire world," she says. The Mar-a-Lago Turkey Burger will be permanently available at the Trump Bar and Grille in Trump Tower in New York City, open to the public for lunch and dinner. It will also be served during lunch in Chicago at Sixteen, the Trump International Hotel restaurant."

     1/2           cup  celery -- finely chopped
  3                     Granny Smith apples -- peeled and diced

  4             pounds  ground turkey breast
  2              Tbsp.  salt

  1                     lemon -- juice and grated zest
     1/2         bunch  parsley -- finely chopped

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.

 Thank you ever so much!

Glad I could help.

beeje,  Forgot to emphasize.   Chef made huge point of emphasizing the importance of refrigerating the burgers for two hours after mixing and making patties.  Since mixture is so moist, this step is mandatory to keep burger from falling to pieces on the grill.

 These sure sound good, but half a pound of meat per burger? I don't think so.

 Dorothy, I hadn't read the amounts of ingredients only scanned the ingredients. Egad, that is a heck of a lot of salt. I'm glad you pointed that out.

Dorothy, Thank you for pointing out the salt quantities!   I normally cook low salt / salt free.   I will definitely cut back when I make these!  

Chefly, I think we could easily make 16 or more patties with this much ingredients.

Has anyone made the burgers? 

 I am doing WW, so I will amend what he used to make soemthing workable for me.  I was fascinated that there were apples in the burger itself.  Interesting.
