- TRANSFER patties to a lined baking tray and bake in oven for 10 minutes.
- REMOVE patties from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Stand for 5 minutes to allow cheese to melt.

What's Great About It:
Turkey mince is low in fat and high in protein making it a good alternative for beef in patties. Using wholemeal breadcrumbs will increase the fibre content of the meal and when paired with wholemeal bread rolls makes for a good fibre hit. Feel free to use any veggies you have left over in the fridge for the coleslaw – anything goes!
