Our Turkey Burgers are seriously tasty, bursting with yummy Mexican flavours and ridiculously easy to make! You’ll just LOVE them!

Switching out the beef mince for turkey mince makes these burgers lighter, healthier and completely delicious!

They’re also super simple to make, totally faff free. A really easy dinner recipe the whole family can enjoy.

Now because minced turkey can be a little on the bland side, we flavour our turkey mince burgers up using marmalade and chipotle paste for a Mexican vibe that’s oh so good.

How To Make Turkey Burgers

You’ll love how easy these homemade turkey burgers are to make – just mix the burgers in the mince packet, so it’s mess free!

Step 1 – Make the burger patties

  • Open the turkey mince packet, tip in the lime marmalade, the chipotle paste and a pinch of salt and scrunch everything together with your hands to mix in the flavours.
  • Form the turkey mince into four burger patties using your hands. Pat them down so that they’re thin burgers so they cook quicker.

Step 2 – Cook the patties

  • Cook on a hot griddle pan for around 10-15 minutes or until cooked through properly with no pink remaining. Flip the burgers often to ensure even cooking.

Step 3 – Serve the turkey burgers

  • Once the burgers are cooked slide them onto the ciabatta rolls add a handful of lettuce, a couple of slices of avocado, a slice of Monterey Jack cheese and dollop on the Mexican roast tomato salsa. Then squash on the lid and enjoy!
