Turkey and courgette burgers
ingredients
500g minced turkey breast
1 large courgette, coarsely grated (about 200g)
4 spring onions (about 40g)
1 medium egg
2 tbsp chopped mint
2 tbsp chopped coriander
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp aleppo pepper
sunflower oil (for searing)
instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C / 200°C Fan. Mix all the ingredients (apart from the sunflower oil) in a large bowl.
Once evenly mixed, shape into burgers, about 45g each and about 18. Pour sunflower oil into a large frying pan to form a thin layer on the bottom. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sear at medium heat in batches until browned on all sides, and transfer to prepared sheet. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until just cooked through.
notes
Serve with soured cream and sumac sauce.
The mix is pretty soft when uncooked, but it firms up nicely once fried.
