Ingredients

  • 500 g British Turkey Mince
  • 2 tablespoons Basil pesto
  • 6 Salad Onions / Spring Onions - what is the difference? - thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic crushed / or squirt of chilled garlic
  • Salt and Black pepper
  • 6 bread rolls / or ciabatta Rolls / I use a baton sliced
  • 2 Large Beef steak tomatoes
  • 1 ‘half fat’ fresh mozzarella
  • A few Basil leaves Hand full watercress or slices of Avocado

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix together turkey mince, chopped spring onion, garlic, pesto and salt and pepper. If you have time - chill for for a few hours
  • Using damp hands shape into 6 patties (burgers) or if you want larger ones just 4.
  • In a large non stick frying pan - spray with fry light (or olive oil), fry the patties for 10-15 minutes ensuring you have lots of colour on outside and the patties are cooked through (NO PINK MEAT - CHECK!!!)
  • Cut the rolls in half, grill on one side or the bread, spread small amount of Pesto on top
  • Place the patties on the bun or bread, add a slice of mozzarella, a slice of beef steak tomato and a nice handful watercress and a few basil leaves, season (you could add slices avocado). Alternatively ditch the bun and serve with a nice big green fresh salad.
  • Now that’s Easypeasylemonsqueezy! Cx
