Haggis and Neeps Burger
This haggis and neeps burger brings classic Scottish comfort into a modern burger format. A juicy beef patty is paired with crumbled haggis and smooth mashed neeps for a hearty, deeply savoury bite.
Ideal for weekend cooking or Burns Night-inspired menus, it is filling, flavourful, and brilliant with crispy fries or roasted potatoes.

Ingredients
- 4 Burger Buns toasted

- 30 g Butter for mash
- 2 tbsp Milk for mash
- Salt, to taste
- 1 small Onion thinly sliced, optional

- 500 g Turnip peeled and chopped (for neeps mash)
- 1 handful Rocket optional
- 500 g Beef Mince form into 4 burger patties

Warm haggis just before assembly for best texture and flavour.
Add peppery rocket or a tangy mustard mayo to balance richness.
