This recipe is WRONG. If you look at the mar a lago recipe it is 1 tablespoon of pepper, NOT 2. That makes the pepper way too overpowering. Only 1 Tb pepper and its an awesome recipe.

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

We found that the lemon zest overpowered all other flavors in this burger. The chutney (which is mostly sugar) in the mix made them burn on the outside. After I turned down the heat, they turned out tender and juicy. This was my first attempt at turkey burgers, but I won't make this recipe again. I think the onions and herbs are a good start, but no more lemon zest for us!!

Love these burgers and so did our friends at the BBQ. Need to be almost 1/2 lb so they don't fall apart, and better to grill first side on foil. Food processor helps shorten food prep time.
