Prep Time: 15 Mins
Cook Time: 15 Mins

For the Burgers
Ingredients:

• 700g turkey mince
• ½ red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tsp dried thyme
• 100g mature cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 wholegrain baps
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a frying pan, add the onions and cook until softened.
2. Allow to cool slightly (This is my preference, don’t bother with this if you like slightly crunchier onions in your burger).
3. Mix the turkey mince, onion, thyme and garlic together.
4. Season lightly with the salt and pepper.
5. Divide the mixture into four. Roll the grated cheese into the four turkey pieces. Fold over and shape into four burger.
6. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on a high heat and sear the burgers for one minute per side.
7. Place on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.
8. Assemble your burgers in the baps with salad and condiments of your choosing.
