Dinner at Work - Turkey and Quinoa Burgers



Plain old burger patty just doesn't hit the spot?

Try this amazing Turkey and Quinoa mix. 

Ingredients:
turkey mince
quinoa
1 egg
half onion, diced
1 clove garlic, diced
salt
pepper
cumin
paprika
chilli powder


Method:
Cook the quinoa in boiling water (or stock) for about 15 minutes, or until most water is absorbed.

Drain and fluff with a fork. 

In a mixing bowl and turkey mince, egg, spices and quinoa and mix together. Once mixed you can either use straight away or store in the fridge for later. 

(*I also added some goji berry, sunflower and pumpkin mix to give it that extra kick.)


Once ready to eat, shape the mixture into patties. 

Add oil to the fry pan and place over a medium heat. 

Cook on both sides until brown and cooked through. 



                                                        

I had mine on gluten free seeded bread, buttered, with piccalilli, a slice of cheese, fried onion, mushrooms, tomato slices and a drizzle of ketchup.

Dinner at Work - Brunch Delight

If you feel like you need more than a bit of toast or a bowl of cereal this bowl of deliciousness is just for you!



Cater the quantities to your hunger level:

Ingredients:


1 ripe avocado
feta cheese
a few slices of bacon
additions:
mushrooms
cherry tomatoes


Method:
Fry the bacon and mushrooms
Dice avocado and feta, add to bowl
half cherry tomatoes, add to bowl
Once bacon is cooked, pat excess oil off using paper towel and cut/chop into pieces
Add mushrooms to bowl



I find that each individual ingredient has a strong taste, so if you are able to fork a few onto your fork at once the tastes infuse and balance each other.

Eat and enjoy!
