banh-mi inspired turkey burger

I was playing around with turkey burger recipes for a client and used the flavours of banh-mi in some simple burgers. She and her children went mad for them so I thought you’d like them too.

When I’m trying to eat more healthily I often look to Thailand and Vietnam for inspiration. One of my favourite Vietnamese foods is Bahn-mi, the perfect little sandwiches that have soft roasted meat, pate, crunchy veg, fresh herbs and lime and some chilli fire.

Traditionally these would be served on baguettes but because I was too eager to eat and photograph them after I made them, I actually ended up serving them on wholegrain English muffins. To be fair, a perfectly crisp baguette would be better but they were still really good. Next time I might just have them with salad or maybe with some rice or noodles.
