Gwyneth Paltrow Turkey Burgers
Makes a dozen small patties
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- pinch crushed dried chilli
- pinch cayenne pepper
- pinch herbes de provence salt normal salt with some dried herbes de provence would be fine
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt not necessary in my opinion if you've already used salt above
- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp sage finely chopped fresh
- 225 g turkey mince
- 2 tsp maple syrup "Real Vermont" specifed by Gwyneth's book... I didn't have any but subbed with agave nectar which was fine
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Using a pestle and mortar or mini food processor, bash the fennel seeds, crushed chillies, cayenne, salts and pepper together.
- Combine this spice mixture with the sage, turkey and maple syrup in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Form the mixture into small, thin sausage shaped patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the sausages for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side, pressing down with your spatula to really brown them and keep them thin. Serve warm.
Notes
Gwyneth's note: You can even freeze the cooked patties and reheat them in the oven.
