METHOD

Step 1 Pay attention, because this is a

little complicated. Throw all of the patty

ingredients into a food processor and

blitz until everything is mixed together

and... well, that’s pretty much it. The

feta is key. Turkey is lean, so the fats

in the cheese keep your patties juicy.

Step 2 Form eight equal-sized patties

with your hands and refrigerate to firm

them up. Before cooking, give them

a dusting with flour. This helps to

create a crust when they’re being

flame-grilled on the barbecue.

Step 3 Resist the urge to press the

burgers when they’re on the grill to

ensure all the juices stay inside, and

don’t flip them too often. Grill for a few

minutes on both sides, ensuring the

patties are cooked all the way through.

Serve on toasted brioche with lettuce,

mayo and some sliced tomato. Job done.

FEATHER PILLOW

Beyond the protein, turkey

is rich in tryptophan, a

precursor to melatonin.

This decreases the

time it takes to drift

off and improves

sleep quality,

essential

for healthy

weight loss.

TRUE CLOVE

Garlic isn’t just a flavour

bomb. It’s packed with

immunity-enhancing

compounds such

as allicin, which give

your clove the power

to chew through

your chances of

a summer cold.

ADAPT TO THRIVE

Though it might lack the

hipster status of some

trendier herbal supps,

basil is an adaptogen OG.

Research suggests it can

activate neurotransmitters

to improve your mood and

make you more energetic.

FETA IS BETTER

As well as beating

standard cheese for

fat and calories, feta is

made from sheep’s milk,

which contains A2-beta

caseins, a gentler form of

slow-release protein than

the A1-beta in cow’s milk.
