{Recipe} ~ Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries

This is my first time making these, I usually make them with beef mince but decided I'd try them this time with turkey mince. 

Serves 2, Makes 4 burgers

~NOTE: There are a few bowls, pots and trays used in this recipe so hence some washing up to be done so I prefer to make this on the weekend when I have more time rather than a weeknight!!! 

You will need: 

400g turkey mince 

1 Glove of garlic

1 large red onion 

6 small mushrooms

2 slices of sliced pepperoni, diced 

1tbsp of grated Parmesan 

1tsp of red pesto

2 medium sweet potato 

Handful of broccoli florets 

Method: 

Turn on oven, set at 180' 

Place turkey mince in a bowl 

Dice 2 of the mushrooms, half of the red onion and the garlic clove (I used the handheld dicer from Ikea) 

Pour this into the bowl with the turkey along with the pepperoni, cheese and pesto and mix well. 

Heat some butter in a pan on the hob

Divide the mix into 4 and roll into a burger shape, dust in some plain flour. 

Place burgers into pan and fry off on both sides to crispen the outside

While the burgers are in the pan, place the broccoli, remaining mushrooms and sliced onions on a baking tray. 

Peel and chop the sweet potato and place in a separate tray and season accordingly, I usually spray them with some oil and sprinkle some garlic pepper and aromat on them and shake to coat 

Pour some hot water on the pan to unstick any bits or flavor that has baked into the pan

Now place the burgers in your tray along with the broccoli, onions & mushrooms and pour in any liquid that's left in the pan. 

Cover the tray of burgers with tin foil, leave the sweet potato uncovered and place both in the oven for 30minutes. 

The sweet potato may need to be turned during that time! 

After 30 minutes the sweet potato should be crispy and when the burgers are uncovered should be cooked through and the veg softened and flavored having been cooked in the burgers juices. 

Serve & Enjoy x

~ Tip* I usually serve these with the Knorr Pepper & Coriander sauce but they are equally nice served on their own with some caramelised red onion on the side (recipe for homemade caramelised red onions follow!)
