Brightly coloured food just appeals to us, and these Beetroot ‘n’ Basil Turkey Burgers are not exempt. The vibrant colours of the beetroot means they’ll make a statement on your plate even before you take a bite and realise how delicious they are. It’s a win-win situation.
Sure, there’s always a bit of apprehension when using beetroot, particularly if you don’t want your kitchen to look like a murder scene. But as long as you’re careful to wash up anything with beetroot juice on it pretty fast, you’ll have a rainbow meal that tastes as good as it looks!
Method
-
Mix the turkey mince, grated beetroot, onion, basil and psyllium husk together using your hands until well combined. If you don't like a strong onion flavour, you can soak the onions in water for 10-15 minutes prior to adding them to the mix.
-
Using your hands divide the mixture into 5-6 burger shapes, setting aside on parchment paper once they're formed.
-
Wash your hands and any other beetroot stained items while warming a non-stick pan on a medium heat.
-
Cook the burgers for 5-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
-
Serve in a burger, or with a side of salad.
