Instructions: Preheat the oven to 200 C, 400 F, Gas Mark 6. Brush a baking tray using a pastry brush with a little vegetable oil.

Place the turkey mince in a large mixing bowl.

Wash and trim the ends off the salad onions. Slice the onions thinly and add to the turkey mince.

If using canned sweetcorn and the sweetcorn should be drained before use.

Add the sweetcorn to the turkey mince.

Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork. Add to the large mixing bowl with the plain flour and seasoning. Mix using a large spoon and stir well to thoroughly combine all the ingredients.

Using well floured hands and a floured surface divide the mixture into 6 and shape into starship shapes. Make them slightly oval in shape with a flat base and a domed top. The burgers at this stage can be cooked immediately or place onto a clean plate, cover and refrigerate until required.

Place the burgers onto the baking tray and place in the preheated oven.

Cook the burgers for 25-30 minutes. The burgers should be cooked throughout until the centre is piping hot with no pink colour remaining.

Serve the spaceships on baked beans or spaghetti with mounds of mashed potato as planets and with a favourite vetgetable. Place cherry tomato halves or other garnishes of your choice on each dome to make the burgers look more like a spaceship.

NOTES : Spaceship shaped burgers made from turkey mince as a healthy and tasty alternative to beef.
