Ingredients
- ½ x 500g pack 7% fat turkey mince
- 2 tbsp chipotle paste
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 2 smoked cheddar slices
- 2 brioche buns
- 200g oven-baked fries, to serve (optional)
For the guacamole
- ½ large ripe avocado
- juice of ½ lime
- ¼ red onion, finely diced
- ¼ x 30g pack coriander, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp pickled jalapeño slices, roughly chopped
Step by step
- Start by preparing the guacamole. In a medium bowl, add the avocado, lime juice and a pinch of salt; mash with the back of a fork. Mix in the diced onion, coriander and jalapeños. Press clingfilm directly onto the guacamole to stop it browning, then pop into the fridge until ready to use.
- Light your barbecue. Combine the turkey mince with half the chipotle paste and season. Divide into 2 patties just wider than the buns (or 4 smaller ones if you want to double stack). While you wait for your barbecue to heat up, mix the remaining chipotle paste with the mayonnaise and a pinch of salt.
- Cook the patties over direct heat, around 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Once flipped, add a slice of cheese to each patty. Slice the buns in half and toast them on the barbecue too.
- Once the cheese has melted and the buns are toasted, assemble the burger. Start with the chipotle mayo on the bun base, then the cheesy patty. Top with a generous dollop of guacamole and then the bun top. Serve with some ovenbaked fries on the side, if you like.
