Ingredients

1 large sweet potato (about 190g), cut into wedges
260g turkey breast mince (under 5% fat)
1 small red onion, diced
1 large egg, beaten
1 apple (about 70g), peeled & grated
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp oil
135g green vegetables (spinach, kale, broccoli, mangetout or green beans)

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Zap the sweet potato wedges in the microwave for about 6 mins on full power until just turning soft. Leave to rest for 30 secs.

  2. While the sweet potato is spinning in the microwave, mix the mince in a bowl with the onion, garlic, egg and apple. Get your hands stuck in and work the ingredients together with a good pinch of salt and pepper, the oregano and paprika. Shape the mixture into two burgers about 3cm thick. Place on a baking tray in the oven for 15-20 mins until cooked through.

  3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the sweet potato wedges and shallow-fry for about 3 mins each side until they are nicely browned all over and cooked through to the centre. (Alternatively, toss in the oil and roast in the oven for 15-20 mins.) Drain on kitchen paper, then season with a good pinch of salt.

  4. Serve the burgers with the sweet potato wedges and a portion of green veg either steamed, blanched or boiled.
