Turkey Burgers with Red Pepper Relish & Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

Friday, January 6th, 2012

This post should have gone out around Thanksgiving / Christmas time, but it didn’t. And now it’s too late. Story of my life.

BUT turkey is a much underused meat in this country, it’s low in fat, and if cooked right is pretty tasty too. So hopefully, this recipe will enable some of you to get your burger fix whilst being a bit healthier in January. Oh yeah, and sweet potatoes are officially a superfood now too. Think I turned that one around…

The long-ish ingredient list suggests that this is quite an involved recipe, but it really isn’t. Once you’ve got everything together, it’s pretty easy. The red pepper relish works really well with the burgers, as does a bit of creamed horseradish instead of ketchup or mayo. I like the robust sponginess of ciabatta with these, but feel free to use whatever bread tickles your fancy.

Ingredients (serves 2)

For the patties

400 g turkey mince

2 spring onions, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 tbs parsley, finely chopped

And while we’re on the subject of harvest festivals, it’s Thanksgiving today, so Happy Thanksgiving to all my American and Canadian chums.

Like Christmas dinner over here, Turkey is at the heart of any decent Thanksgiving feast, but for as long as I live I’ll never understand the whole sweet potato marshmallow thing.

Whatever you’re eating, ‘have a nice day’.
