Turkey burgers and salad

We don't have a barbeque but this summer hasn't given us the best weather so far for using one, so I don’t feel to sad about it! It doesn't stop us from cooking home made burgers though and these were a tasty alternative to using pork, lamb or beef burgers. We bought a packet of turkey thigh mince, which looked slightly darker than breast meat but was half the price. For something like burgers, it is a great meat to use as it shouldn't be as dry as breast meat could potentially be. As the weather is warmer I served this with a mixed side salad which used up any left over salads from the fridge.
Turkey burgers (served 2 adults and a toddler easily)
Small packet of turkey thigh mince
1/2 red onion
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
Seasoning
1 tbsp vegetable oil

  1. Get your hands in and mix all of the ingredients (excluding the oil) together really well.
  2. Put the oil into a frying pan and place over a medium heat. Shape the turkey mix into burger shapes, I choose to make 7 smaller burgers so that I could be sure they would cook through evenly and wouldn't take too long.
  3. Leave the burgers cooking until they have browned on both sides. We cut through a couple of burgers to make sure that they were well cooked.
