Halloumi Turkey Burgers & Sweet Potato Wedges
I love burgers and if it is a homemade burger then even better! Turkey burgers have become one of my favourite kind of burger and they are so quick and easy to make. If you would prefer a homemade beef burger recipe then check out another of my recipes Quick & Easy Beef Burgers.
I prefer homemade burgers to shop bought ones as I know what goes into the mix and you can personalise them by adding in what ever you fancy. When making homemade burgers you can experiment by adding fresh ingredients like fresh chilli’s or spring onions. Or if you prefer you can add in dried/ground spices like turmeric powder, cumin or even cinnamon! Anything can go to spice up and make you burgers exciting and delicious!
My children love homemade burgers as they can help by making up their burger buns with what ever they like whether it is by adding in a few chips or cucumber or letttuce. Its a great family food and a guaranteed winner with my kids. A little tip for those fussy eater (i’m talking about the children not the adults haha) adding vegetables like grated carrots or sweet potato into the burger mix is a great way of getting more veggies into your meals and adds to your daily fruit and veg intake.
If you know me I love to experiment with different recipes but I like to keep it easy because trying to cook dinner while looking after 2 children can be quite difficult. These turkey burgers were so easy to make and so tasty, you can enjoy them with some fresh chopped salad leaves and beef tomatoes in a seeded bun or out of the bun with some homemade sweet potato wedges.
So here is my recipe for Halloumi Turkey Burgers & Sweet Potato Wedges you can try out for your next family meal.

Halloumi has to be my favourite cheese 🙂 I hope you like it! xo
This sounds so delicious! I’ll have to give this a go. Halloumi is one of my favourites. I also like to know what goes into my food, which is why I often make things myself (although I’ve been a bit lazy lately).
Let me know what you think 🙂
Oh wow! This looks delicious!!
Thank you, it is so yummy! xo
Oh these look so good, and I’ve been obsessed with sweet potato chips/wedges lately. They’re so tasty! I love adding lots of Himalayan Salt to mine 🙂

They are so tasty aren’t they, my kids love them! xo
This looks absolutely fab. I love turkey burgers too, especially making my own because as you say, you know exactly what goes in them. I bought some in a hurry recently from a quite high end supermarket and when I grilled them this weird pink foamy fat came out so I won’t be buying those again and will definitely stick to my own!
I love adding feta to mine but I literally live for halloumi so I’ll definitely give these a go – I’ve actually just added turkey mince to my ocado order especially 🙂 x
Halloumi is my absolute favourite too, I could eat it every day haha! Ooh please let me know what you think 🙂 xo
