Turkey & Cumin Burgers

We found a version of this recipe online and decided to adapt it and we instantly fell in love with these wonderful tasty burgers. We discovered that turkey mince is so lean, delicious and surprisingly light!! Apart from turkey obviously these burgers have cumin as one of the main ingredients and it goes really well with the tasty turkey mince. This time I had my burgers with Danish blue cheese instead or regular cheese and it turned out to be a match made in heaven but feel free to use any cheese you prefer such as Cheddar, Edam, Emmental or Maasdam, We also made a refreshing raw carrot & tomato salad to go with it. I will post the recipe of this salad in my next blogpost. In the meantime do give these burgers a go. For 6 burgers you will need...
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon hot paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs (we used Panko)
  • 500g minced turkey

To serve

  • 6 burger buns, split and toasted
  • 30g Danish blue cheese, crumbled

How to...
  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix all the burger ingredients well. (I use my hand so all the flavours infuse equally into the meat. (Always make sure your hands are clean, alternatively you can wear disposable gloves or use a spoon).
  2. Shape into 6 equally shaped burger patties.
  3. Cook on a hot grill or BBQ for about 5 minutes on each side or until there is no pink in the middle anymore.
  4. Serve on the toasted buns, sprinkle some crumbled Danish blue cheese. Our carrot & tomato salad will go very well with these burgers...definitely tried and tested. :)

Enjoy!!
