Saute the scallions, celery and green apples in the canola oil until tender. Let cool. Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add sauteed items and the pepper sauce, lemon juice and zest, parsley, chutney. Shape into 8-8 oz burger patties, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Season the turkey burgers with the salt and pepper. Place on a preheated, lightly oiled grill and grill for 7 minutes each side or until the meat is thoroughly cooked. To make the side of pear chutney, toss peeled and diced pear with cinnamon and sea salt. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Let cool. Add pear to chutney and currants/raisins. Serve alongside turkey burgers. Note: this can also be made into meatballs. To make cocktail meatballs, brush or dip into pear chutney and broil quickly to glaze. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
