First I have to apologize I posted this recipe - I did not find yours- The filter didn't work - I will ask to have mine removed. Loved the recipe. One of the best turkey burgers that I have had. I used my mini shopper for the apples & Celery & I used Shallots instead of scallions. For the hot sauce I used Mama Zulu's Hot African sauce. MMmm is all I can say.

This is a great burger. Really moist. Make sure you cut the celery really thin. The burgers are great on there own.
