Barbecue season is right around the corner. If you are wondering what to make then you’re in the right spot! We love these turkey burgers, they’re fast, fresh and full of flavour. Let us know how you get on making them and tag us @behealthybucks.
Ingredients
Serves 6
- 500g 2% fat turkey mince
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ red onion
- 1 tbsp sliced jalapeños
- 100g light feta cheese
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp cumin
- Few sprays of low-calorie
cooking spray - 6 wholemeal buns
Method
- Crush the garlic, finely dice the onion and jalapeños and crumble the feta cheese.
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix together well. If you have time, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge, or you can use the mix straight away.
- Split into 6 equal pieces and form into patties.
- Heat a frying pan and spray with low-calorie cooking spray.
- Cook burgers for 10 minutes, turning halfway.
- Serve in a wholemeal bun. For an extra crunch you can serve with carrot, cucumber, and lettuce.
Top tip: We made our burgers hot ‘n’ spicy – add or remove jalapeño peppers to suit your spice-factor.
