Instructions
Wash quinoa in a fine sieve to remove saponins which may taste bitter. Cook 2 cups quinoa to yield 4 cups cooked. Quinoa should cook for about fifteen minutes until the tiny 'tails' appear from the grain. Reserve 1/2 cup for this recipe and keep in refrigerator to make quinoa salad.
While quinoa cooks, grate apple and onion into a bowl.
Add garlic, herbs and spices.
Add turkey and cooked quinoa when ready.
Work with the hands to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
Form into 6 patties ready for cooking.
Cook on a griddle or barbecue on a medium heat for 7 minutes on each side until patties are cooked through.
