Healthy Junk Food for the Weekend

Healthy junk food...??? Surely that's a contradiction in terms?!

In today's society of healthy eating and calorie counting it is always tempting at the weekend to 'blow out'. After a hard week at work and watching what you eat it is alll too easy to think: "I've been good all week, so I deserve a takeaway on a Friday or Saturday (or both)"

Well, help is at hand, there is now no need to worry about having a 'treat' at the weekend and putting on all the calories you burnt off during the week. I have a recipe for Turkey burgers that are both tasty and healthy...surely that's the best of both worlds?

What makes this recipe even better still, is the fact that it takes about 3 mins to prepare and about 16 mins to cook, therefore tasty healthy junk food in under 20 mins...genius.

The added bonus with these is that you can even make them perfectly after a few glasses of wine...something that I have definitely tried and tested.

Ingredients:

- 500 grams Turkey Mince

- 2 x Spring Onions (chopped finely)

- 2 x table spoons Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce

- 1 x table spoon Soy Sauce

- 1 x Lemon (the zest and juice of)

- Salt ad pepper to season

Tip: Don't worry about getting a fancy zester just use a fine cheese grater

Method:

1) Pre-heat grill

2) Mix mince, chopped spring onions, chilli dipping sauce and soy sauce together with the zest and juice of the lemon

3) Add a little salt and pepper

4) Divide ixture into four equal portions

5) Make into burger shape ith your hands

6) Place uder grill and cook for approx 8 mins each side

7) Serve with salad.

I'm making these tonighht, so I'll update you with a picture of them and how they turned out tomorrow.

Have a lovely weekend all and go and enjoy the sunshine - if the weather stays nice there is no reason why you could not dust off the bar-b-q and enjoy 'Chargrilled turkey burgers' or shape the mixture into little balls and make turkey koftas instead...

Have fun
