Taco-Spiced Turkey Burgers with Lime Slaw
🍔 Taco-Spiced Turkey Burgers with Lime Slaw
These Taco-Spiced Turkey Burgers are juicy, smoky and topped with a crisp lime slaw. Our Mexican Taco Spice brings lean turkey mince to life, creating a lighter burger that still feels generous and satisfying.
They are equally good cooked in a frying pan, beneath the grill or on the barbecue.

🍳 How to Make Taco-Spiced Turkey Burgers
- Mix the turkey mince, Mexican Taco Spice and grated onion gently. Shape into four even patties and chill for 15 minutes.
- Mix the cabbage and carrot with the yoghurt, lime juice and a little salt.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the burgers for 6–7 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Check the centre reaches 75°C, then rest for 3 minutes.
- Lightly toast the buns. Add lettuce, tomato, a turkey burger and a spoonful of lime slaw.
🍟 Serving Suggestions
Serve with potato wedges, sweetcorn or a crisp salad. Extra slaw can be served alongside rather than overloading the burger.
✨ Why This Recipe Works
Turkey thigh mince stays juicier than breast mince, while grated onion adds moisture without creating large pieces. Chilling helps the patties hold their shape and resting keeps the juices inside.
