Best Turkey Burger EVER!!


I saw these turkey burgers on Oprah last year. They are from Donald Trump's private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. I made them last summer, and they were the best turkey burger I have ever had. I wouldn't change a thing! A little bit of work, but well worth the effort! They are on the menu for this weekend. If you get a chance, give them a try!

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.

It will also be served during lunch in Chicago at Sixteen, the Trump International Hotel restaurant.
