1-First step: prep the vegetables Start by preparing the broccoli, green onions, tomatoes, and cucumber. Cut the broccoli into small florets so it cooks evenly and mixes well into the patties. Thinly slice the green onions, then set aside the tomatoes and cucumber for topping later. If you want a smoother burger texture, chop the broccoli very finely or pulse it briefly in a food processor.

2-Second step: soften the broccoli Steam or blanch the broccoli for a few minutes until it is just tender. This step helps the broccoli blend into the turkey mixture without staying too firm. Once cooked, drain it well and let it cool slightly. Extra moisture can make the burger mix too loose, so press it gently with a clean towel if needed.

3-Third step: mix the burger base In a large bowl, add the turkey mince, quinoa flakes, green onions, eggs, and cooled broccoli. Add the tablespoon of sriracha chilli sauce. Mix gently with clean hands or a spoon until the ingredients are evenly combined. Do not overmix, because that can make the patties dense instead of tender.

4-Fourth step: shape the patties Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each one into a burger patty. Keep the patties about the same size so they cook at the same rate. If the mixture feels sticky, lightly wet your hands before shaping. You can also chill the patties for 15 to 20 minutes so they hold together better during cooking.

5-Fifth step: cook the burgers Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The center should reach a safe internal temperature of 74°C or 165°F. If you prefer baking, place the patties on a lined tray and bake at 200°C or 400°F for about 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

6-Sixth step: toast and prepare the buns While the burgers cook, split and toast the wholegrain buns. Toasting helps the buns stay firm when you add the hummus, salad, and juicy vegetables. Spread hummus on the bottom half of each bun for a creamy layer that balances the spicy sriracha in the patties.

7-Final step: assemble and serve Place a cooked burger patty on each bun, then top with mixed salad leaves, sliced tomato, and sliced Lebanese cucumber. Add extra sriracha sauce if you like more heat, then close with the top bun and serve right away. These Turkey Broccoli And Quinoa Burgers taste best hot and fresh, but they also work well in lunch boxes or meal prep containers.
