Asian style turkey burgers with rice and guacamole

This was from a website originally, but I've made a few changes to the recipe as the ingredients left the burgers rather bland.  We had this as a midweek meal and it was really quick to prepare and cook and perfect for a Tuesday in our house where we are all doing different acivities.



Ingredients

500g turkey mince
75g breadcrumbs
30g packet of fresh coriander
1 fresh green chilli
1 large red onion
juice of 1½ limes
1½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons Worcester sauce

To serve

Plain boiled rice
Avocado and cucumber guacamole
Lime cut into thin slices
Pepperdew peppers sliced into strips
Chopped fresh coriander

Method

Make the avocado and cucumber guacamole first using the linked recipe, put it into a bowl, cover with cling film and push the film onto the surface before sealing to exclude all the air so the guacamole doesn't go brown.

Now make the burgers.  Peel and chop the onion and chilli as finely as you can, then wash and chop the coriander leaves making sure you leave a few for garnish.  Add the Worcester sauce, breadcrumbs, onion, coriander, chilli, lime juice, salt and pepper to a large bowl and mix together well.  If you're cooking these later, cover with cling film and keep in the 'fridge.

Set the rice to boil and while it's cooking fry the burgers.  I like to cook them in a non stick griddle pan with a little olive oil.  Cooke them on a medium heat until they are browned on each side, then leave them to rest while you plate up.

Drain the rice and serve in a mould to add a little interest to the dish, add a couple of spoonfuls of guacamole then pile the burgers next to them.  Decorate with the thinly sliced lime, coriander and pepperdew peppers and enjoy!
