method
1. Mix the minced turkey with the grated onion,
parsley and seasoning in a bowl. Divide into 4 portions and mould into
4 rounds with your hands, pressing firmly. Cover with clingfilm and leave
in the refrigerator until you are ready to grill the burgers.
2. Before you cook the burgers make the relish. Just mix all the
ingredients together and leave in a covered bowl in the refrigerator until required.
3. Cook the burgers on a hot barbecue or under a preheated hot
grill for about 6-7 minutes each side. The burgers should be slightly charred
and cooked right through. Do not attempt to eat them if they are still raw in
the middle. Just pop them back to cook for a while longer.
4. Serve the burgers topped with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato
in wholemeal rolls. Pass the tomato relish round separately for people to help
themselves.
