Brilliant Burgers - Turkey and Veg Burgers

Turkey, Courgette, Sweetcorn and Peppers Burgers

These are delicious turkey burgers packed full of veggies, kid - friendly and perfect to make ahead and keep in the freezer for a mid week meal. 

Bubs is now a fully talking toddler so to quote him on one of his new words - he thinks these are brilliant. I am always on the search for fast food that is both tasty, healthy and quick to make and these sure fit the brief. 

They taste and cook best if made ahead of time and kept in the fridge until you are ready to cook them, I also froze a bunch by making the mixture, cooling it down in the fridge and then freezing the burgers with some greaseproof between them to ensure they do not stick, simply defrost when needed and cook away.
