Cheesy Turkey Burger

Cheesy Turkey Burger, recipe. Eat well on Universal Credit

 

Well you know everything is going up in price, so we need to adapt to fit our budget, like everybody else.

Turkey Breast mince is actually cheaper than the very fatty Beef / Pork mince weight for weight. BUT it's got a very low fat content. Generally this would be a bad gig for hand pressed Burgers. Dry and falling apart isn't really appealing.

Tip Time:-

Form your Burger around a bit of Cheese. We used Baby Bell as we had some left over in the fridge. A bit of Salt and Pepper in the Turkey mince helps as well.

As the Mince cooks the Cheese melts adding fat, flavour and a bit of Salt to the meat. You Burgers will 'hold' well (As in they don't break up) and taste really good.....

Magical Rice Noodles

As part of the filming we did last week we took up the challenge to produce a three course meal for around our usual daily budget. We normally just have one large main course each and pick at leftovers.

So although nobody will be interested in me typing up yet another stir-fry recipe. I thought it might be fun to let you into a little secret we discovered. There are quite a few starch based dry goods with will behave like Popadums if you throw them into your deep fat fryer. One of our favourites are Glass Rice Noodles from the local Asian Supermarket. They added a bit of visual interest and crunch, but also bulked the dish out for a few pence.

Method:-

(1) Pre-heat the fryer to 170c.
(2) Once the Oil is hot test your noddles by throwing a short length in. If it puffs and pops up dramatically all is good.
(3) Fry small batches and drain over kitchen paper.
(4) Use to dress the top of Asian dishes and sprinkle with a little Paprika for colour.
