• 450g minced turkey
• 1 onion, very finely chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• 50g sweetcorn, thawed if frozen
• 2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs
• Ground black pepper
• 4 standard burger buns, sliced in two
• Shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes

1. In a large bowl, mix together the minced turkey, onion, carrot, sweetcorn and herbs. You can use your hands to mix everything together. Season with some pepper. Shape the mixture into 2 large burgers and 2 small burgers. Cover and chill the burgers if you're cooking them later.
2. Preheat the grill. Place the burgers on the grill rack and grill them for 12-15 minutes, turning them over once, until browned and cooked through.
3. Lightly toast the burger buns on the cut sides only. Top the bases with some lettuce, then add the burgers and sliced tomatoes and pop the bun tops in place.

Tip 1: Make vegetarian burgers by using Quorn mince instead of turkey.

Tip 2: Spice up the grown-ups' burgers by adding a generous pinch of chilli powder to two-thirds of the burger mixture.
