Instructions

1. Mix the burger sauce ingredients (mayonnaise, wholegrain mustard, sriracha and Worcestershire sauce) in a small bowl.
2. Optionally, microwave the sliced red onion on high for 1 minute to soften it slightly.
3. Crumble the chicken stock cube over the turkey mince in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape into 4 equal balls, then cut each ball in half to make 8 round patties.
4. Heat a little of the vegetable oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until very hot. Cook in batches unless using a long cast iron griddle.
5. Optionally, preheat the oven to 70°C (160°F) and place a baking tray inside to keep burgers warm.
6. Cut two squares of baking paper and lightly grease them with a little oil or oil spray. Place a patty on each square.
7. Lower the first patty into the pan paper side up. Press firmly with a potato masher until about 5 mm (¼ inch) thin, then peel off the paper. Repeat quickly with the second patty.
8. Sprinkle salt and pepper over each patty and scatter some of the onion over only one of them.
9. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp underneath and only a thin layer of pink remains on top. Scrape underneath with a strong metal spatula and turn each patty over.
10. Straight away, place a slice of cheddar on the onion patty. Cook 20 seconds more, then place the plain patty on top of the cheese. Heat a few seconds more so the cheese melts a bit, then serve immediately or keep warm in the oven.
11. Assemble the burgers with buns and your chosen fillings.
