Turkey Burgers with Major Grey’s Chutney

Boost your Turkey Burgers with a flavor bomb from a special ingredient!

I was a little hesitant to start making turkey burgers, back when I was first looking for an alternative to ground beef. The restaurant turkey burgers I had sampled were so … so … blah. I don’t know how they do it, but they don’t even taste like turkey, much less a memorable sandwich you’d order (or prepare yourself) on a regular basis.

I was determined, though, to make a tasty turkey burger, and with a little help from Da Googles, I was able to cobble together a recipe from several sources that works for me and gets compliments every time I serve them.

I will do one special call out to Oprah, though, who provided the final ingredient to my recipe: Major Grey’s Chutney. A chef had made her his version of the turkey burger by mixing this tasty condiment right into the meat. I was so intrigued that I forgot to note the other ingredients he used, but, didn’t matter. Once I tried it in my own recipe, I knew I was done.

I love that you can make these ahead of time, stash them in the fridge, and they come out cold (like they need to be) and ready to slap on the grill or the griddle.

If you need to prepare and cook them at once, place the raw patties in the freezer for 10 minutes so that the mixture will hold together when you transfer it to the heat source. (To stack them, separate the patties with wax or parchment paper.)

Enjoy a lighter, healthier alternative to beef burgers. Serve these flavorful turkey burgers on onion buns with a little dijon mustard. They’re the perfect accompaniment to a steaming bowl of soup.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey , your choice of lean
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms , finely chopped (I prefer crimini or baby bellas)
• 1 small sweet or red onion , finely chopped
• 2 heaping tablespoons Major Grey's Chutney (go for 3, if you'd like)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (if your tastes run to the tangy, you can use a crumbly blue cheese instead)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 buns

Instructions

• Preheat grill for high heat, or a griddle or pan for medium-high heat
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground turkey, mushrooms, onion, Major Grey's chutney, Worcestershire sauce and cheese crumbles, blending well. Season mixture with kosher salt and pepper and blend again.
• Form into 4 burger patties. Patties will not shrink or puff during cooking, so make sure the raw patties are flat and the same diameter as the buns you'll be using.
• For easiest handling, freeze the patties for 10 minutes.
• Place patties on the fully heated grill, griddle or pan, and cook for 10 minutes per side, or until well done.
