Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato Wedges

Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • For the burgers
  • 500 g Turkey mince
  • 4-6 Spring onions
  • 1 large clove of garlic
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1.5 tsp cayenne pepper
  • For the wedges
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • Oil preferably spray
  • Black pepper and salt to season

Instructions

  • 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.
