The best turkey breast burgers ever!


Really really delicious.
Turkey is a lovely lean meat, and is usually very cheap as well, so win win really.
The next time you want to indulge in a toxi KFC, or any deep fried burger, try making these babies instead. Not only will you save money, but you can control why goes in them, meaning no scary additives and they don't include more salt than the Atlantic Ocean. 

Ingredients
Makes 4 burgers

4 turkey breast steaks
125g flour
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 ginger
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp basil
1 tsp marjoram 
Oil (enough to cover the surface of your frying pan)
4 bread buns
2 eggs, or 1 egg whisked with milk
Condiments to serve e.g. Cheese slices, ketchup, BBQ sauce.

Mix together the flour and all the spices, and shake well so it is all blended. 
Cut each of turkey steaks in half, then dip into the whisked egg until they are completely covered.
One by one, place all your burgers into the spice mix and shake until they are thinly and evenly coated.
Heat the oil in the pan until very very hot. To test if your oil is ready, drop a pinch of the spare spice mix into the pan and see if it sizzles. 
When ready, drop the burgers in the oil a few at a time. Don't try and cram them all in at once, just do them in batches. Give the burgers three minutes on each side, or until the coating is crispy and golden.
Put two halves of turkey in each bun, top with a slice of cheese, sauce and salad.
I like to serve with corn on the cob.
