  • 100g/3½oz turkey slices
  • 100g/3½oz cooked Brussels sprouts
  • 1 free-range egg, beaten
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 50g/1½oz plain flour
  • 25g/1oz unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 25g/1oz butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g/3½oz cranberries
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ orange, juice and zest
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
  2. For the burgers, place the turkey, Brussels sprouts and egg into the bowl of a food processor and blend to combine.
  3. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Dust a little flour onto your hands and shape the mixture into four patties. Add more flour to your hands if necessary.
  5. Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
  6. Add the burgers to the pan and fry for one minute on each side.
  7. Place the burgers onto a baking sheet, transfer to the oven and bake for about five minutes, or until cooked through.
  8. For the relish, place all the relish ingredients into a small frying pan and cook gently for about eight minutes, until the cranberries have softened.
  9. For the poached eggs, add the vinegar to a small frying pan filled with simmering salted water.
  10. Crack the eggs, one at time, carefully into the pan – take care not to break the yolk.
  11. Place a lid on the pan and cook for two minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  12. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  13. Serve two burgers on each plate with a poached egg and a drizzle of the relish around each serving.
