turkey apple and quinoa burgersQuinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is something I have been experimenting with a lot lately. It has a very mild flavour and is very versatile.  This is the first time I tried it in burgers and it tasted really good. 

I cut some rounds of wholemeal pitta bread and toasted them for the buns.  I  then filled them with the burger, chopped tomato and avocado.

Turkey, Quinoa and Apple Burgers

Turkey Quinoa and Apple Burgers

Ingredients

  • 450 g Turkey Mince
  • 1/4 cup quinoa (washed)
  • 2 apples, grated
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Bring to the boil 1/2 cup of water and add the quinoa. Simmer with the lid on for approx 15 mins (until the water has been absorbed). Allow to cool.

  2. In a large mixing bowl add all the ingredients and mix, with your hands, until combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture. 

  3. Form five burgers

  4. Fry on a medium heat. When the bottom 1/3 of the burger turns white flip and cook until the burger has no pink bits and the juices run clear. (Or until it reaches an internal temperature of 74c)

      Hi Aoife, wow you are really digging into the recipe archives! I just mean to squeeze the liquid out of the grated apples. Place the apples onto a clean dishcloth/cheese cloth and squeeze any excess liquid out. This is a very old recipe and one I haven’t made in years. I actually plan to edit / re work the recipe a bit and repost in the next week or so.
