Asian-Style Turkey Burger
Description
Suitable for both special occasions and everyday meals. Burger buns can be bought ready-made at any supermarket or baked at home yourself. Turkey mince is best made yourself rather than bought from the store—they often add a lot of water to it, and then the patties refuse to fry properly and spread out across the pan. Use fresh meat and grind it through a meat grinder, and the patties will turn out beautiful and tasty. Good luck. Can be served warm or chilled.
