Ingredients:

For the guacamole:

  • One diced large avocado
  • The juice of one lime
  • 8 vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • One large crushed garlic clove
  • Two tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves

For the burgers:

  • Half a tablespoon of light olive oil
  • A finely chopped onion
  • Two large crushed garlic cloves
  • Two tablespoons of parsley
  • 500g of turkey mince
  • One teaspoon of mild chilli powder
  • One tomato

Instructions:

  • Mix all the ingredients for the guacamole and season it. That’s pretty much that for the guacamole.
  • For the burgers, heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion and the remaining two garlic cloves for a few minutes.
  • When it cools, empty the contents into a bowl and then add the parsley, turkey mince and chilli powder.
  • Season it and then mould the contents into four burgers.
  • Grill for about four minutes each side until cooked through, ensuring of course there is no pink in the middle.
  • Serve in toasted buns with lettuce, the tomato, peppers and onions, and some guacamole.
