Monster Turkey Burger in an Olive Bread Bun

The dreaded discount fridge had a half kilo box of Turkey thigh mince at 88p the other day. Clearly I thought better of such expensive meat and left it there…… ( Just call me Boris Johnson! - I’m lying! ) So here’s another take on Sue’s Monster Burger, with Olive Bread this time and still under our £4 budget….

Burger Ingredients:-

½ a large Onion, finely diced
Dried Mint
Chilli flakes
Turkey Mince
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Mix everything well in a bowl.
(2) Form into four thick burgers.
(3) Fry gently on both sides until cooked through, but not too long as you will dry them out.

We made Onion Rings, a root vegetable Coleslaw and chips as sides and added a bit of salad. We will be eating cold burger today as we simply couldn’t have eaten it all in one sitting!
