cant remember the exact recipe but i made them once adding some sweet chilli sauce from a jar and they were delicious.

usually i mix some bread crumbs,an onion, an egg,the turkey mince,garlic-i gotta have my garlic fix-and some herbs usually mixed type blend all together either by hand or in a blender roll into large balls the flatten out

this can also be adapted to make meatballs just by making smaller ball shapes

Mine are similar, I bung an onion and a slice of bread in the food processor and blitz along with a handfull of cheese, add a few chopped herbs, the mince and an egg and mix until combined.

I just spoon out big dollops onto my griddle pan and dry fry them until they've sealed and then bung in the oven.

A little thyme will work nicely

A low fat recipe I use:

Mix in some chopped coriander (dry will do). Add some either grated or very finely chopped onions, some garlic & a couple of teaspoons of vegetable bouillon powder.

I tend to mix it together with just my clean hands. (Remember to thoroughly wash your hands after though).

Shape into beefburgers & hey presto low fat yummy burgers.

BEEFBURGER

Makes 2 quarter pounders

INGREDIENTS

250g of lean minced beef*
Ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of oil

METHOD

Divide the mince into two halves. Squeeze each half into a ball and then flatten it out into a disc. Make them firm, so that they don’t fall apart. Make them chunky, as thin edges will cook too quickly. Season with the pepper.

Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Fry the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

Add some finely chopped onion. Add some herbs.

Use minced lamb, pork or turkey, whichever is cheaper, instead of minced beef. If you use minced lamb, add some finely chopped mint, dried mint or some mint sauce. If you use minced pork, add some finely chopped apple or some apple sauce. If you use minced turkey, add some cranberry sauce.

If you need to make the mince go further, add some grated carrot.

If the burgers won’t hold together, add some beaten egg. If you make the mixture too wet, add some breadcrumbs.

Cook the burgers under a preheated medium grill for about 5 minutes on each side instead of frying. If the mince is very lean, you might need to coat the burgers with a little oil.

TIPS

When squeezing the mince, imagine it's someone you don't like.

Chilling the burgers in the fridge helps them to hold together whilst cooking.

You can make the burgers using a burger press. This is a round mould, which you fill with the mince and then press it into uniformly sized burgers. However, hand made burgers have more ‘rustic charm’ and there’s no washing up.
　
* Use good quality lean and finely ground mince. The cheaper the mince, the higher the fat content and the more coarsely it is ground. Use chuck steak, which is reasonably cheap but doesn’t have too much fat, and either get the butcher to grind it, or invest in a meat grinder and do it yourself.
