Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a small pan, add the onion, fry for a few mins until lightly browned and soft, then cool. Mix the turkey with the lemon zest, thyme, parsley, onion and seasoning until well combined.

  • step 2

    Shape the mixture into 4 burgers and wrap a rasher of bacon around each. Put in a roasting tin, bake for 20-25 mins, then pan-fry for a few mins on each side to crisp up the bacon. Serve in a bun with lettuce, sliced tomato, tomato sauce and vegetable chips (recipe below).

RECIPE TIPS
VEGETABLE CHIPS

Cut a selection of carrots, parsnips and potatoes, depending on what's in season (no need to peel) into large chips. Toss in olive oil, a good sprinkling paprika and a little salt and spread over a baking sheet. Roast at the same temperature as the burgers for 45-50 mins, turning halfway through the cooking time.

I made these lovely little burgers and the flavour was fab! My only addition was a bit of beaten egg and then I left them to set in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking - this keeps them together slightly better. I also used fresh herbs from my garden which always helps!

I tried this recipe but the taste was too bland. Could this be due to inadequate cooking instructions - e.g. for oven cooking a method to ensure that the meat can be kept moist enough and/or for barding use of streaky bacon variety only ?

Didn't like these at all - very dry and a very strong flavour (not in a good way!).

Quick, easy and lovely flavour. Will be making again soon.

Far too lemony and took 40mins to cook in the oven as they were cool in the middle when tested after 30 mins and pan fried. Very disappointed as the kids wouldn't eat them due to the strong lemon flavour and the fact they don't go with tomato ketchup. A waste of good quality ingredients.
