Method

For the turkey burger mix the turkey mince really well with the mayonaise, salt and pepper. Shape with your hands or line a burger press with greaseproof paper, then press the mince into 4 even sized burgers. Leave in the paper and chill.

Once chilled, remove from the fridge, take off the paper then dust in flour. Next dip in the beaten egg and then coat well in the sage and onion stuffing crumbs. Re-chill until ready.

For the sausage burger mix the sausage meat really well with the chestnuts, then shape like the turkey burgers and chill again.

For the bubble and squeak burger mix the mash and roast potatoes along with the egg and Brussel sprouts, then season well and chill.

Heat the oil & butter in a frying pan cook the turkey burgers for 6 minutes per side until golden and thoroughly cooked through, then keep warm.

Next cook the sausage patties and bubble & squeak patties until thoroughly cooked through.

Layer the 3 patties and bacon in the sesame buns, top with a little finely shredded lettuce and dash of cranberry sauce.

Skewer and cut in half, serve with dipping gravy. Enjoy!
