Sensational Burgers Three Ways

A family favourite!  It is nice to change up the regular burger now and again.

Burger Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp grated onion
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
500g lean ground beef or turkey
Cheese
Hamburger buns (I like the thin ones)

Glaze Ingredients below


  1. Whisk the egg with the onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt and pepper.  Crumble in the beef (or turkey if making the Mango Tango Turkey Burger). Mix gently.  Chill the mixture for 15 minutes; then divide into 4 equal sized patties.  Preheat the grill to medium high and grease the grate.  Set the patties on the preheated grill and cook, covered for 6 minutes.
  2. Flip the burgers and reduce the heat to medium.  Choose a glaze below and mix ingredients.  Brush with some of the glaze.  Grill turning and brushing with glaze for 6 to 8 minutes or until 90C inside. Brush with any remaining glaze and top with cheese (if using) before removing from the grill.  Serve on buns with traditional garnishes.
*reduce Worcestershire Sauce to 1 tbsp if using turkey.
