*Turkey Burgers with Cheddar and Spinach*
Serves 4 Deliciously moist turkey burgers stuffed full of lovely flavours. 4 ounces of wilted spinach, squeezed dry 1 small onion, peeled and cut into chunks 1 fat clove of garlic, peeled and chopped 2 spring onions, trimmed and coarsely chopped 2 TBS good balsamic vinegar 2 tsp soy sauce 1 tsp fresh lemon juice 1/2 tsp of mild chili powder 35g of strong cheddar cheese, grated (1/4 cup) 30g of fresh soft white bread crumbs (1/2 cup)
1 pound of lean ground turkey
4 slices of medium cheddar cheese Toasted buns, lettuce, sliced red onions, mayonnaise to finish Put the spinach, onion, garlic, spring onions, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice and chili powder into the bowl of a small food processor. Blitz together until coarsely chopped You don't want it really fine, but you also don't want big chunks of anything. Put the turkey into a bowl. Scrape the contents of the food processor onto the turkey along with the cheese and bread crumbs. Mix all together well, using a light hand. Gently shape into four flat patties and place them onto a plate. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour. When you are ready to cook them either heat a grill or a grill pan, or a skillet over medium high heat. Lightly coat it with non stick cooking spray. Add the chilled turkey patties and cook them for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until nicely browned, cooked through and the juices run clear. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and set aside to melt the cheese while you toast the buns. Serve the burgers on toaste buns. I like mine with lettuce, mayonnaise and thinly sliced red onions. Delicious! |
