Best Turkey Burgers

Flavour the turkey: Put the turkey into a bowl. Add the spring onions, herbs, mace and tomato purée, with plenty of seasoning. Mix well until thoroughly combined, stirring and pressing the mixture firmly with the back of the mixing spoon.

Shape the burgers: Divide the mixture into four portions. Roll one portion into a ball, then press it flat into a fairly thin burger, about 10cm in diameter. Set aside on a plate or board. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Cook the burgers: Heat a very large frying pan over a high heat, then add the sunflower oil and tilt the pan to coat it evenly. Add the burgers, reduce the heat to medium and press them flat with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the burgers are well browned underneath. Turn over, press flat and cook for a further 4-5 minutes or until well browned on the second side.

Finish and serve: While the burgers are cooking, slice the muffins, baps or rolls in half horizontally and spread the bottom layer with mayonnaise. Add a couple of lettuce leaves to each. When cooked, put a burger on each and add a little onion, if you like. Replace the top of the roll and serve with a little pile of cherry tomatoes.
