Turkey Burgers with Greek Yoghurt Slaw

A juicy turkey burger served with crisp cabbage, carrot and a creamy Greek yoghurt dressing. A fresh, high-protein lunch ready in 25 minutes.

Why this works on GLP-1

Lean turkey mince provides a generous amount of protein in a manageable portion. Greek yoghurt adds more protein while keeping the slaw lighter than a traditional mayonnaise-based version.

Cabbage and carrot add crunch and fibre without making the meal overly rich. Serve the burger without a bun, or add a small wholemeal bun if your appetite allows.
