Turkey burgers

Tamara West

If you can’t find turkey mince, make your own by grinding up the dark meat of a turkey.

Ingredients

5	Shallots, or 1 large onion
3 large	Mushrooms
3 cloves	Garlic
1 handful	Coriander
½ tsp	Salt
½ tsp	Cayenne pepper
½ tsp	Turmeric
1	Lemon, zested
450 g	Turkey, minced (Main)
¾ cup	Breadcrumbs, fresh
6	Burger buns, ciabatta

Directions

1. In the food processor blitz shallots, mushrooms, garlic and coriander until finely chopped. Add salt, cayenne pepper, and turmeric.
2. Gently fry this mix until fragrant and paste-like, about 20 minutes. Add the lemon zest, season and remove from heat to cool.
3. Add turkey mince, breadcrumbs, fresh pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Mix well, press into burger shapes on baking paper and chill.
4. To construct burgers, grill patties on a hot plate for 2-3 minutes each side and serve in warm ciabatta buns with a simple coleslaw, a dollop of chipotle mayonnaise and a few bread and some pickles.
