Manipulating data in text file using powershell commands

Question

I am new to PowerShell. I'd like to add double quotation and OR, e.g.,"word" OR, for each line in a text file and output the results in a new file. I got this so far: %{" "$_ " OR "} but of course it's giving me the following error: Unexpected token.

Nested double quotes must be escaped (escape character in PowerShell is the backtick):

% { "`"$_`" OR" }
