Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 500 g ground turkey mince approximately 1.1 lb
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 medium brown/yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 medium zucchini grated (approx. 145 g/5 oz)
- 1 medium carrot peeled and grated (approx. 85 g/3 oz)
- 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 0.67 cup panko breadcrumbs (70 g)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil more if needed, for frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line a sheet pan with non-stick baking paper to place the shaped patties on.
- Add the turkey, vegetables, and seasonings to a bowl, and mix well to combine.
- Divide the turkey mixture into 15 patties (approx. 1/4 cup each), and carefully shape into patties about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick. Use slightly damp hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, and gently add the patties. To avoid crowding the pan, and to make it easier to turn them, cook four-six patties at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the frying pan, put on a plate and cover with foil to keep them warm while you cook the rest. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more oil to the frying pan if necessary.
Notes
These patties are versatile and can be served with salad, vegetables, or in a lettuce wrap or burger bun. For best results, ensure patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
