  1. Boil chopped turnip in salted water for 20–25 minutes until very tender, then drain well.

  2. Mash turnip with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and thick; keep warm.

  3. Season beef patties lightly with salt and pepper.

  4. Heat oil in a pan or grill and cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side (or to your preferred doneness).

  5. Warm and crumble cooked haggis in a small pan over low heat.

  6. Toast burger buns and spread with mustard mayo if using.

  7. Assemble burgers with beef patty, warm haggis, a spoon of neeps mash, and optional onion/rocket.

  8. Serve hot with fries, wedges, or a simple side salad.

Notes

Keep neeps mash fairly thick so it sits well in the burger.

Warm haggis just before assembly for best texture and flavour.

Add peppery rocket or a tangy mustard mayo to balance richness.
