Turkey burgers

 

 

 

400g – 500g turkey mince (extra lean)

1 slice of bread soaked in 4 tbsp milk for 5 minutes. Mash with a fork.

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 onion, finely chopped

pinch of Italian herbs

pinch of paprika

pinch of garlic granules or 1 clove crushed garlic

salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together until combined.

Take a golf ball size of the mixture (I use an ice cream scoop) and follow the directions below...

I don't have a burger press but I do have a handy tip :)

You will need some greaseproof or baking paper, scissors and an old, clean lid.

• Cut the paper into squares, I cut about 10 pieces.
• Place one square onto a chopping board.
• Take a scoop of the mixture and place it in the middle of the paper.
• Place another piece of baking paper over the top of the mixture.
• Place the lid over the top of the mixture and paper.  Press firmly.

• Give the lid a twist back and forth before removing.
• Lift the top sheet of baking paper off and place it to one side so that you can use it on the next burger.
• Place the burger just made, bottom paper and all, on to a plate.
• Take a new piece of paper, place it on the board and start again.
• Repeat until all of the mixture has been used.

I usually stack them on a plate and then cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.  This is to help them firm up but I have put them straight under the grill without chilling and they have been fine.  My 2 top tips would be to spray them with BBQ Frylight, it gives them a lovely flavour and to not turn them over until the top is nicely browned
