Easy to make and healthy to eat, why not give this recipe for turkey burgers a go for dinner this evening?

Ingredients (for a serving of approximately four burgers):

  • 2 turkey breasts
  • 1 onion
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons of Crushed Garlic
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of pepper
  • Wholegrain burger buns

Instructions:

  • Cut up the turkey breasts into small pieces.
  • Chop the onion, crush the garlic and place them into a bowl along with the pieces of turkey.
  • Crack open an egg and pour it into the bowl to help bind the mixture, mix with half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of pepper and divide the mixture into four parts to be shaped into patties.
  • Place the patties onto a baking tray and place the baking tray under a pre-heated grill for ten minutes on each side or until cooked straight through.
  • Allow to cool for approximately one minute and the dish is ready to serve. Place burgers in wholegrain burger buns and enjoy.

Serving suggestion: Garnish burgers with coriander for extra flavour. Also, guacamole goes well with the burgers, either dolloped on top of the burgers themselves or as a side dish.
