  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 burgers

Ingredients

– 150g broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets โ€“ Steamed and chopped for veggie flavor and fiber

– 500g turkey breast mince โ€“ Lean protein that forms the burger texture

– 100g (half cup) quinoa flakes โ€“ Helps bind the patties and adds wholesome carbs

– 3 long green onions, thinly sliced โ€“ Mild onion flavor and freshness

– 5 eggs โ€“ One egg binds the mixture, and the rest create fried eggs for topping

– 4 wholegrain buns, split and toasted โ€“ Holds everything together and adds a hearty base

– 60g (quarter cup) hummus โ€“ Creamy spread for flavor and moisture

– 60g mixed salad leaves โ€“ Adds crunch and freshness

– 2 tomatoes, sliced โ€“ Juicy, bright topping

– 1 Lebanese cucumber, sliced โ€“ Cool, crisp texture

– 1 tablespoon sriracha chili sauce, plus extra to serve โ€“ Sweet heat that makes the burgers pop

Instructions

1-First Step: Cook the broccoli and let it cool Steam, boil, or microwave the broccoli until tender. Drain it well, then let it cool completely before chopping finely.

2-Second Step: Mix the burger base In a medium bowl, combine broccoli, turkey breast mince, quinoa flakes, green onions, and one egg. Mix until everything looks evenly distributed. Next, divide the mixture into four portions and shape each into a burger patty about 2 cm thick. If you want cleaner edges, press gently and keep patties the same thickness.

3-Third Step: Cook the patties until golden Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

4-Fourth Step: Fry the remaining eggs Lightly spray another large non-stick frying pan with oil, then heat over medium-high heat. Fry the remaining eggs to your preferred doneness. Keep the yolk runny if you love a rich, saucy burger.

5-Final Step: Assemble Turkey Broccoli Quinoa Burgers To assemble, spread hummus on the base of each toasted bun. Layer with mixed salad leaves, tomato slices, cucumber slices, a burger patty, and a fried egg. Drizzle sriracha chili sauce over the burger, then top with the remaining bun. Serve immediately while the patties and egg are at their best.
