Turkey burgers


INGREDIENTS
675g (11⁄2lb) turkey mince
handful of thyme, leaves only, finely chopped
grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
knob of butter, melted
2 tbsp plain flour, to dust
olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
4 hamburger or other bread buns, to serve

METHOD
Put the turkey mince, thyme, lemon zest and juice, and chilli in a bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Mix together until well combined.
Now add the melted butter and, using your hands, work the mixture until it all sticks together. Divide the mixture into four, then scoop up each portion, and form into a ball. Press flat with your hands to form a burger. Dust with the flour, then chill in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes to firm up.
Heat a little olive or vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the burgers for about 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Serve in a bun with crisp lettuce, slices of tomato, and a dollop of mayonnaise.
