Ingredients
- 250 g (9 oz) turkey breast steak or ground turkey
- 50 g carrot
- 50 g onion
- 100 g zucchini
- 1 egg
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 20 g olive oil
- Salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs to taste
Instructions
- Blitz everything in a blender (together or separately) until finely minced.
- Mix thoroughly and shape into patties.

Tips
- Squeeze the grated zucchini to remove excess moisture so the patties hold their shape better.
- Braise gently over medium heat and do not overcook — the patties should be just cooked through and still juicy.
