Recipe – Classic Turkey Burger
Ingredients
| 500g turkey mince | 4 burger buns, split |
| 1/4 cup stale breadcrumbs | Shredded lettuce |
| 1 medium brown onion, very finely chopped | 3 tbsp mayonnaise or aioli |
| 1 egg, lightly beaten | 4 slices cheddar cheese |
| 1 tsp dried oregano | 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced |
| 1 tsp garlic powder | 1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced |
| 1 tsp salt | Pickles to serve (we recommend McClure’s Pickles) |
Directions
Step 1 – Place the mince, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, oregano, garlic powder and salt in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Form the mince mixture into 4 patties with wet hands, place on a tray and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Step 2 – Preheat the BBQ to medium heat – approximately 180°C. Set up the BBQ with a hotplate or BBQ safe frying pan. Cook the burger patties until the outside is charred and the inside is cooked to a minimum of 72°C. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each pattie to melt.
Step 3 – Remove the patties and cheese from the BBQ and set aside, covered loosely with foil. Place the burger buns cut side down onto the hotplate to toast slightly.
Step 4 – Assemble your burgers with lettuce, mayonnaise or aioli, pattie and cheese, red onion rings, tomato slices, and pickles. Serve immediately.
