This is a dish I came up with items I had on hand and experimented at the last minute. It was flavorful and fresh and very satisfying. I would attempt to make it again, with perhaps a turkey meatloaf instead and mashed sweet potatoes. Mmmmm!
Turkey Patties with Lemon Tomato Salad
1 Lemon (Peeled and sectioned)
Bunch of Cilantro
1 Large Greenish Pink Tomato (Quartered without cutting all the way, then sliced)
1/4 of a Large Red Onion (Sliced)
Dressing:
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. Balsamic Vinegar
1 Garlic Clove
Few chunks of Mango
Kosher Salt
Cracked Black Pepper
Turkey Patties:
1 lb of Ground Turkey
1/2 c Diced Red Onion
1 Whole Egg
3 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
1/8 tsp Ground Thyme
1/4 tsp Paprika
1/4 c Bread Crumbs
1/2 Parmesan Cheese
Kosher Salt
Cracked Black Pepper
1. Peel the lemons and section out the wedges of lemon pulp. Add to a bowl.
2. Chop up the cilantro. Slice up the tomato and red onions and add with the lemon sections.
3. For the dressing....
Add all ingredients to a food processor and process until garlic is minced. Toss in with the sliced vegetables in the bowl.
4. Turkey Patties.....
Combine ground Turkey, spices, egg, bread crumbs, onion, minced garlic and last but the big flavor kicker..PARMESAN CHEESE!!! I have to say, Parmesan cheese is one ingredient I can't do without. It will add any deprived dish with that extra sparkle of taste....well just about any dish.
Now, I want you to take your rings off because we are going to get our hands dirty. Dig right in and mix everything together. Pretend its Playdough. Make sure all ingredients are mixed in well and start shaping them little bundles of heaven up.
5. Heat up a pan and add a little bit of Olive Oil. Add the Turkey patties and cook about 4-5 min on each side, depending on thickness. Juices should run clear and outside lightly browned.
Dish up on a plate with the salad. Was good as is or you can add to a bun with the works. Perhaps some baked sweet potato fries. There I ago with the sweet potato. I may just have to try sweet potato with this either in a turkey loaf or patty.
