  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat, then cook the burgers for 5 mins each side or until cooked through. Toast the cut sides of the burger buns. Place the salad on the bottom halves of the warm buns, then top with the burgers and chutney or lime pickle.

'A light alternative to beef, next time I might mix the chutney directly into the raw mince.'

    These were lovely - didn't feel low fat but make sure you make them quite flat as otherwise they don't cook all the way through properly.

    Although not as good on fat content, this recipe is fantastic done with lamb mince. Add a few flakes of red hot chille flakes for that extra kick!!! Fantastic!

    these are spot on! get the patties a bit flatter than those, and use the bigger wholemeal baps instead. this way the meat cooks through easier and they don't topple over on the plate, and they are a bit healthier! be generous with the mango chutney!

    Was surprised what a nice burger turkey mince makes. Very tasty with a seeded granary bap and a generous dollop of mango chutney.

    I've made the burgers a few times. I add a small tomato and only add egg white to make it healthier. I also add salt, but not required if you are having it with lime pickle.
