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 for turkey burger

  1. Crush the garlic, finely dice the onion and jalapeños and crumble the feta cheese.
  2. 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.
  3. Split into 6 equal pieces and form into patties.
  4. Heat a frying pan and spray with low-calorie cooking spray.
  5. Cook burgers for 10 minutes, turning halfway.
  6. 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 but you don’t have to! If you’d prefer a milder recipe, just leave out the jalapeño peppers.
