Method

1. Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grate half the red onion and work it into the turkey with the egg, breadcrumbs and paprika.
2. Divide the meat into eight and press each against the back of a ladle into a basket. Set them on a lined half baking tray.
3. Fill each with ricotta and halved tomatoes and scatter the mozzarella over.
4. Bake 25-30 minutes, until the cheese blisters and the turkey reads 74°C (165°F) inside. Meanwhile slice the cucumber and the rest of the onion thin into the vinegar to pickle.
5. Serve the baskets on the warm rice with the drained pickle on top.
