Another great recipe from our member Dianne. These turkey burgers carry a bit of a kick and will liven up any tea time, whether its barbecue weather or not. The cooling raita pairs perfectly with the tikka, to give a lovely spicy burger without blowing your head off!
Using turkey mince instead of beef mince can be a great way to save some calories, without losing out on your favourite foods. Enjoy them with a nice crisp salad or if you have the calories to spare, some chunky skin on wedges.
