Serves: 5 burgers
Ingredients
- 500 g | 1lbs ground turkey (extra lean)
- 2 cloves garlic , crushed
- 1/2 a red onion , grated
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli/pepper flakes powder
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 5 slices light cheddar cheese (or your cheese of choice)
- 5 sourdough bread rolls (or your rolls of choice), halved
- extra barbecue sauce to serve
- extra parsley to garnish
Greek Yogurt Coleslaw:
- 3 tablespoons greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (light) whole egg mayonnaise
- 1 cup coleslaw mix (sliced cabbage, carrots, red capsicum/bell peppers, and red cabbage)
- salt to season
Instructions
Make your patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, garlic, onion, egg, sauces, breadcrumbs, parsley and spices. Using your hands, really mix it all up to make sure all the ingredients have combined into the turkey. Divide into five patties, pressing firmly into shape.
- Preheat a nonstick pan/griddle with 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the patties and fry until cooked through and seared on both sides. (Lower heat if you find them burning, and half cover the pan with a lid to ensure they cook through). Add the cheese slice on top of each patty while still in the pan, just before removing them, so they melt and warm through.
- Slice buns in half and toast under grill/broiler, or not. Totally optional.
Make your 'Slaw:
- Mix the Greek yogurt and mayo together in a bowl. Add the coleslaw and mix through. Season with salt/pepper to your tastes.
- Serve burgers with the patty, pile the 'slaw high, drizzle with extra barbecue sauce and top with extra parsley (if you want to).

I made these tonight on the bbq instead of in the pan-the flavor was great! But they fell apart. Even still, my husband said they’re delish and he would have them again for sure!
Anne David says
do I use plain greek yogurt?
Tanya says
Could I barbeque these? Or would they fall apart?
These look awesome. Thanks:)

You can definitely try and barbecue them! I’m not sure if they’d fall apart. I don’t think they would. It’s a pretty firm mixture. If you try them out on the barbecue, please let me know how you go! I might just try them myself 😉
