Maralago Turkey burger recipe

I love cheeseburger's and while they aren't the best thing on the menu if you are watching your weight, I tend to eat them anyway. :) I would much rather not eat red meat, but as far as i am concerned I have never come across any veggie or turkey burger that tastes as good. I WAS WRONG! I used Jennie-O lean ground turkey meat and it turned out great! The famed recipe is from the head chef at Maralago, Donald Trump's exclusive club in Palm Beach, try it out for memorial weekend, you will be pleasantly surprised!
