ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often cheaper.

Start with the relish by softening red onion over medium heat, stirring to avoid browning.

Add beetroot and apple to the pan, then honey and cumin, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Prepare the burger patties using beef mince, adding sea salt, black pepper, garlic, chili, spring onion, and basil.

Form the mixture into patties and add cheese on top for crunch.

Cook the patties until done, then build the burger with tomato and avocado, and top with the relish.
