Ingredients

Servings 6

500 g turkey thigh fillet
7 g of salt
3 g ground black pepper
1 tbsp butter
4 hamburger or potato buns
½ tbsp vegetable oil
4 thin slices of cheese
2 small tomatoes
2 small pickled cucumbers
1 white onion
2 tsp cucumber marinade
a pinch of sugar
2 tbsp mustard with seeds

Cooking

Step 1

Prepare mustard seasoning. Chop the onion as small as possible, pour over the cucumber marinade, add sugar and leave for 5 minutes. Peel and cut cucumbers into small cubes, mix with squeezed onions and mustard.

Step 2

Clean the turkey meat and cut into small pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a tray and place in the freezer for 15-25 minutes until the meat is barely frozen around the edges. Place half of the meat in the bowl of a food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds until coarsely minced. If necessary, stop the combine and clean the blades and sides of the bowl. Turn the bowl over and transfer the minced meat to a tray. Prepare the second piece of meat in the same way. Check for any long fibers or large pieces in the minced meat and remove if found.

Step 3

Divide the mince into 4 equal portions. Without lifting the minced meat from the tray, use your fingers to form flat round patties with an uneven surface and edges. Season with salt and pepper, flip with a spatula and season on the other side. Place the tray of meatballs in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Cut each bun in half. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and toast the cut side of the buns.

Step 5

Wipe the pan with paper towels, pour in the vegetable oil and return to high heat. With a spatula, shift the cutlets and fry without disturbing, 3 minutes. Flip the patties and cook for 1 more minute. Place a slice of cheese on each cutlet. Cook 1 minute for the cheese to start melting.

Step 6

Cut the tomatoes into thin slices, removing the seeds. Spread the mustard seasoning on the bottom of the bun, put the patty with cheese and two slices of tomato. Cover with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
