Turkey burgers

Everyone loves a good burger, don’t they? With added bacon, cheese and other toppings, they’re not always the healthiest option. These turkey burgers are lovely and light and are a great mid-week supper alternative.

Serves 2 (makes 4 medium burgers)

Ingredients

• 50g red onions, finely chopped
• Juice of 2 limes
• 250g turkey mince
• 1 medium egg
• 50g feta, crumbled
• Pinch of paprika
• Pinch of dried chilli flakes
• 1 tsp Lucy Bee coconut oil
• Himalayan salt and ground black pepper

Method

1. Put the onions into a small bowl, add half the lime juice, cover and leave to soak overnight in the fridge. (This will give the burgers a delicious, zesty, sweet flavour.) Put the turkey mince in a bowl with the egg, feta, paprika, chilli flakes and soaked onions. Season well, then mix together using a wooden spoon, or your hands. Divide the mixture into three and shape into burgers, making sure each burger is compact and holds together.

2. Melt the coconut oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and, when hot, add the burgers and cook for 5 minutes, adding a dash of the remaining lime juice to the pan. Turn and fry for another few minutes until cooked through. If necessary, turn them again, so that they are cooked evenly on both sides.

3. Remove from the heat and squeeze over more lime juice. Season and serve with Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges (see page 120), Tzatziki (see page 57) and a green salad.
