Turkey Burgers

It’s BBQ season and we’ve created this delicious recipe for healthy turkey burgers. Turkey is a great alternative to beef burgers, as it’s generally lower in saturated fat and so a great choice for heart health and energy balance! We made our burgers hot ‘n’ spicy – you can turn up the spice too by adding jalapeño peppers or leave them out if you prefer it mild.

Serve in a wholemeal bun with your favourite burger toppings…. are you a gherkins or no gherkins kind of person?

Ingredients

  • 500g 2% fat turkey breast mince 
  • 2 cloves garlic 
  • ½ red onion 
  • 1 tbsp sliced jalapenos (more if you like it spicy!) 
  • 100g light feta cheese 
  • ½ tsp paprika 
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper 
  • ½ tsp cumin 
  • Few sprays of Frylight
