Turkey, Feta and Courgette Burgers

I’m pleased to announce that we have another guest post on A Different Kitchen! It is by my sister Pamela, an experienced and talented cook whose meals I have enjoyed on numerous occasions. 

Hi. My featured meal is Turkey, Feta and Courgette Burgers. I have used this recipe many times. It’s healthy, tasty, easy and uses up some of the mint in our garden (you can see some of our mint bush in the photo). It is also useful if you have an abundant courgette (or zucchini) harvest, which some of you may be experiencing at this time of year.

Servings

Depending on your preferred size of burger, the recipe makes as many or as few burgers as you like!

Timings

10 mins prep, and 10 mins to grill.

You Will Need

• 500g turkey breast mince
• 1 large courgette, spiralised or cut into tiny cubes (I use a Kenwood mini chopper)
• 100g feta crumbled
• 2 crushed garlic cloves
• half teaspoon chilli flakes
• small bunch of mint, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon sumac powder
• zest of an unwaxed lemon
• 1 large egg beaten

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl with your hand and shape into burgers.
2. Place these on a baking tray lined with tin foil and cover with cling film.
3. Put these in the fridge to firm – the smell is amazing.
4. At this stage you can also freeze the burgers – or some of them – for another day.
5. Put the tray under a hot grill and cook the burgers for 8-10 minutes, gently turning, until golden brown. 
6. Enjoy with a fresh salad. No burger baps required!

Well done Pam and thanks for sharing this delicious looking recipe.
