Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized (about 1 pound total) Turnips
- 1 medium-sized Carrots
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, for frying Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- Optional toppings (cheese, sauces, etc.)
Instructions
Peel and grate the turnips, carrot, and onion using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
Mince the garlic cloves. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, minced garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients come together into a cohesive mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. If the mixture feels too wet, add a small amount of additional breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be gentle when flipping to prevent them from breaking.
While the patties cook, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly if desired. Layer each bun with lettuce, a cooked turnip patty, tomato slices, and optional toppings like cheese or sauces.
Serve the turnip burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes or condiments. Enjoy!
