Discover the lighter way to make burgers with this harissa turkey version, which uses lean turkey breast, beetroot and mixed grains.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Tip the grains into a bowl and use your hands to mix in the turkey, garlic, coriander, harissa and parsley. Shape into four patties. Cover and chill.

Step 2

To make the sauce, coarsely grate the courgette, discarding the seeds, then wrap in a clean cloth and squeeze out any liquid. Put in a bowl and mix with the dill, yoghurt and the mayonnaise. You can also add a little lemon zest to this if you have it.

Step 3

Cut the roasted peppers into strips and toss with the rocket with half the oil and lemon juice.

Step 4

Brush the burgers with the remaining oil. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry for 6-8 mins each side or until they are cooked through with an internal temp of 80°C (use a digital meat thermometer if you have one).

Step 5

Once the burgers are cooked, leave them to rest while you toast the buns and grate the beetroot. Serve the burgers in the buns with the sauce, peppers, rocket, and grated beetroot, loaded high.
