INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb ground turkey (use thigh meat )
- 1 large avocado (ripe soft avocado, diced)
- 1 medium onion (diced for flavor (onion powder also works))
- 2 cloves garlic ( minced)
- 1 large egg (see notes below for egg free version)
- 3/4 tsp coriander (seed, ground)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/3 tsp sea salt + 1/4 tsp black pepper ( for babies older than 12 months)
- fat for frying (oil, ghee butter or animal fat )
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare The Ingredients
- Dice the onion, the avocado and mince the garlic.
Combine
- Mix the ground turkey meat, the raw egg, avocado, onion, garlic, lemon juice and seasonings.Attention: check the quality of the meat and the amount of moisture in the meat. Mixing it too much will make it soft and mushy and very hard to shape into patties. Mix everything at the end of adding all ingredients, just enough to combine, use pressing /flapping movements. The texture breaks even more when overworked.
Form Mini Patties
- Take about 1/2 tablespoon of mixture and form a ball, flatten in your palm or with a spatula. Be sure they are uniformly flat so they cook inside well at the same rate.
Fry The Turkey Patties
- In a preheated skillet (make sure the pan and oil is hot enough, the fritters should sizzle when dropped in. Not too hot though, you need them to cook inside too.) Place the patties in the skillet and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side. Tip: Placing the patties right away in the hot pan after rolling works better than forming them all on the side and frying later.
- Continue cooking, adding more oil if needed.
NOTES
Recipe Tips and Substitutions
- Egg free – add about 2 tablespoons of flour instead. Or you can omit them entirely. The turkey patties will have a tougher texture but it’s totally doable.
- Add flavor: add cheese, herbs, and other vegetables.
- No ground turkey – use ground chicken instead.
- Oven Baked Patties: preheat the oven at 400 F. Bake the mini patties on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper (uncovered) for about 18-20 minutes, or until the middle is cooked through.
- Store leftovers for 3-5 days in the refrigerator (closed container).
- Make Ahead: form the patties, place them on parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Freeze them raw. Once frozen transfer them in a plastic bag and keep frozen for up to 3-4 months.
