Ingredients

SMOKY WEDGES

  • 600g potatoes, scrubbed and cut in 1.5cmthick wedges
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, adults)

TURKEY PATTIES

  • 600g turkey mince
  • 2 tablespoons turkey spices
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

TO SERVE

  • ¼ cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 cup grated Colby cheese
  • 6 burger baps
  • 100g cranberry relish

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper.
  2. Toss potatoes on first prepared tray with smoked paprika (if using) and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast (on top rack of oven) for 22-25 minutes, until golden and tender.
  3. While potatoes cook, combine all turkey pattie ingredients in a large bowl and season with pepper. Use a half cup measure of mixture and shape into patties, about 1.5cm-thick. Set aside on a plate.
  4. Finely shred cabbage until you have about 3 cups worth. Toss in a small bowl with mayonnaise and season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice cucumber and tomatoes into thin rounds. Set all aside. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat.
  5. Cook patties, in batches, for 1-2 minutes each side, until browned. When wedges have 5 minutes cook-time remaining, push to one side of the tray, place patties on other side and top patties with grated cheese. Return to oven to cook for about 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. While patties are cooking, cut burger buns in half and place, closed, on second prepared tray. Bake (on rack below potatoes) for about 5 minutes, until warmed through and lightly toasted.
  7. top buns with cabbage, tomato, cucumber, turkey patties and a dollop of cranberry relish. Serve with smoky wedges and any extra salad on the side.
