Ingredients

8 total
  • 2 salad onions, finely sliced
  • 1 drizzle olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 pinch cumin
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 500g turkey mince
  • 12 mini burger buns
  • 12 dollops greek yoghurt
  • 4 tomatoes, sliced

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Add the salad onions to a frying pan 
with the drizzle of oil, the cumin and garlic powder. Soften over a medium heat for 3-5 mins.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from the heat and add to a large bowl with the turkey mince, mixing together well with wet hands.

  3. Step 3

    Form the mixture into 12 falafel-sized balls, then flatten each ball into a burger shape with your hands. Alternatively, you can keep as unflattened round balls for babies or combine three balls into one bigger patty for older children or adults.

  4. Step 4

    Place on a lined baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 mins for mini burgers or 
25 mins for bigger patties, turning halfway to brown evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Serve in mini burger buns with the dollops of greek yoghurt and tomato slices.
