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!
