Turkey and Cranberry Burgers

(SERVES 4)

• 450 g/1 1b/4 cups minced (ground) turkey
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 15 ml/1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 45 ml/3 tbsp fresh breadcrumbs
• Grated rind of ½ lemon
• 2.5 ml/ ½ tsp dried thyme
• 1.5 ml/ ¼ tsp grated nutmeg
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 40 ml/8 tsp cranberry sauce
• 4 small slices bread
• Low-fat spread
• 4 parsley sprigs

To serve:

• Brussels Spouts with Almonds

Mix the turkey with the onion, parsley, breadcrumbs, lemon, rind, thyme and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Mix with the egg to bind. Shape into eight flat cakes. Put 10 ml/2 tsp cranberry sauce on each of four patties. Top with the remaining ones and press the edges together well to seal. Grill (broil) on each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Meanwhile, cut large rounds from the slices of bread and spread very thinly on both sides with low-fat spread. Fry (sauté) in a frying pan (skillet) until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to four warmed plates. Top each slice with a burger, garnish with a parsley sprig and serve with Brussels Sprouts with Almonds.
