Last night I tried a new recipe for turkey burgers and I couldn't believe how delicious they were. I've not tried them before so was a bit dubious. The recipe came from a Weight Watchers book and each burger is worth 4 points. However, the recipe said it makes 4 burgers but I easily got 5 out of them, so that would make each burger 3.5 points (well it's 3.2 but WW works in halfs).
Anyway, as they were so lovely I thought I would share the recipe. And may I say, these are so quick to make that it's perfect for a quick meal with salad.
What you'll need
500g Turkey mince
Small onion - the recipe said grated but I preferred it chopped
Clove garlic crushed - I used a cheats garlic as I had run out of real garlic, so just a little squirt was all I used
Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Pinch of black pepper
Tablespoon of mild chilli relish
Low fat spray
After I chopped the onions I added them to the mince along with all the other ingredients and gave it a real good stir.
Once it's all combined divide it into 4 or 5 burgers. Heat a pan and spray with the low fat cooking oil.
Add the burgers and flatten each one slightly. Cook over a a steady medium heat for about 5 mins each side. It says if you over cook them they will become dry. I am always worried about undercooking white meat, so I did end up giving them a little longer and they were not dry at all.
As I was having salad with this, I had par boiled some new potatoes, covered them in garlic and a bit of butter (not healthy I know) and then cooked in the oven for about 30 mins on gas 6.
I also added some bacon to the top. Again, not overly healthy but I had bacon I needed to use up and I am glad I did!
So there you have it. There is a burger under that bacon I promise. Jim loved these so much and he is a real red meat eater and as I am not a beef burger fan I wasn't sure if I would, but they were incredibly delicious. I would definitely make these again and also for a BBQ too!Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them and I would be interested to know your thoughts on them.
Happy Saturday!
