60-90g Lean minced turkey (2 or 3 servings of your daily protein allowance)
Finely grated rind of 1 lime
3 spring onions finely chopped
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1 small egg lightly beaten
1 small pitta cut into two
2 shredded lettuce leaves
Juice of 1 lime
Place the minced turkey into a large bowl and break up with a knife. Add all of the above
ingredients (apart from the egg and the lettuce) and marinate in the fridge for at least 1hour
or overnight if having the following day. When cold, take a large spoonful of the minced
marinated mixture and make into small flattened patties using the egg mixture to seal.
Transfer the burgers onto a grilled rack and grill for 5minutes each side or until cooked
through. Toast or grill the pitta and cut into two, place the burgers on top. Place the lettuce
leaves onto the plate and spoon over the salsa dressing.
