Burgers are always well received in our house. I always try to make the burgers juicy, aromatic and bursting wit flavour. These burgers are blended with lean turkey mince and fragrant curry seasoning witch bring a touch of exotic warmth to your dinner table. They are perfect for when you want something light, healthy and full of flavour. Also they bring everybody to the table.

Equipment
- Vegetable peeler
- Grater
- Tablespoon
- Teaspoon
- Plate
- Baking tray
Ingredients for the burgers
- Mince beef x 500g
- Courgette x 1
- Ground flax seed or breadcrumbs x 4 – 8 tbsps
- Tamari or soy sauce x 2 tbsp
- Mild or hot curry powder x 2 tsps
- Dried mixed herbs x 1 tsp
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method for the burgers
- Peel and grate the courgette.
- I like to use a fine grater for this task as it makes the burger very moist.
- Add the grated courgette to the bowl along with the mince turkey.
- Next add the tamari or soy sauce, ground flax seed, mild or hot curry powder, dried mixed herbs and salt and pepper.
- Dampen your hands under the tap.
- Using your hands, scrunch all the ingredients together.
- You may need to dampen your hands again during this process.
- Divide the mixture as evenly as possible into quarters.
- Grab a quarter and make a burger shape with your hands.
- Put the burger onto a plate and put a dimple in the middle of the burger.
- The dimple will stop the burger from rising too much when it’s cooking in the oven or on the grill.
- When all the burgers are made store in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and add the tray at the same time.
- Once the oven has preheated carefully remove the tray from the oven and put the burgers in.
- The cold burgers will hit the hot baking tray and hopefully become juicy and tender.
- Let them cook for 25 – 30 minutes and remove once browned on the outside.
- Then serve with chips and salad or a side of your choice.
- Finally enjoy.
Curry Turkey Burgers were delicious. They are proof that healthy doesn’t have to mean boring. All the ingredients are freezable so you could make this dish in advance and freeze them for another occasion. They can also be served with mango chutney. (Which my husband mentioned after I had taken the photos!!!) Also they made yummy leftover for lunch the next day too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
