Lean Turkey Burger With Sweet Potato Wedges Recipes

TURKEY BURGERS WITH SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Chop the sweet potato into wedges.
• Place in an oven tray and spray lightly with oil.
• Season the wedges generously with black pepper and a little salt, toss in the pan and place in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 6.
• These will take a total of 45 minutes and should be turned after half an hour.
• Whilst the wedges are cooking prepare the burgers.
• Slice the spring onions finely and place in the bowl along with the garlic, crushed.
• Add in the paprika and cayenne and stir so the flavours are combined.
• Finely add the turkey mince.
• Mix the spring onions and seasoning together in the bowl by hand until the flavours are evenly distributed and the mince has broken down.
• Separate the mixture into 8 balls.
• In your hands turn the balls into round flat patties and place on a sheet of baking paper.
• Once you have 8 burgers all even in size, cover and place in the fridge until the sweet potatoes only have 10mins of cooking remaining.
• In the last 10mins of the sweet potatoes cooking time place a griddle pan over a high heat. (If your pan isn't non-stick spray a little oil over its surface.)
• Once the pan is really hot place the burgers directly into the pan.
• Leave them where they fall and cook for 5mins on high until a crust has formed.
• Turn the heat down and let the burgers cook until you can see the turkey mince cooked halfway up the depth of the pattie.
• Once the underside has cooked, flip the burgers over and turn the heat back up high.
• To ensure a good char on this side press them into the griddles grooves.
• Cook on high for a further 5 mins until the burgers are cooked through.
• Serve alongside the potato wedges while still piping hot.
