Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 500g turkey mince
  • 85g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp red Thai curry paste
  • ½ bunch spring onions, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil

Mango pickle mayo

  • ½ large mango, chopped into chunks
  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lime pickle
  • handful of roughly chopped coriander

Spicy Mango Salsa

  • ½ large mango, finely chopped
  • handful of roughly chopped coriander
  • juice ½ lime
  • 1 deseeded and finely chopped fat red chilli

To serve

  • 4 rolls, split
  • handful baby gem leaves

Method

  1. Place the mince, breadcrumbs, curry paste, spring onions and egg into a large bowl. Season lightly, then mix well with your hands to combine. Divide into 4 and shape into burgers. Chill for 20 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, make the Mango Pickle Mayo and the Spicy Mango Salsa by mixing together the respective ingredients in small bowls. Put aside.
  3. Brush the burgers with oil and grill for 7 mins each side, or until firm, golden and cooked through. Alternatively, cook on the BBQ.
  4. Once cooked, toast the rolls, cut-side up, under the grill. To serve, top the rolls with a turkey burger, add lettuce, cucumber, tomato slices and a spoonful of mayo or salsa and put the lids on.
