These turkey patties are juicy, golden and packed with vegetables, then finished with a silky cheese sauce that melts over every bite. They are an easy weeknight dinner that feels a little special, with no dry turkey in sight.
Ingredients
- For the patties: 500 g (1.1 lb) ground turkey (thigh + breast)
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 bell pepper
- Greens: green onion, dill, spinach
- 1 tsp salt (scant), black pepper
- 50 g (3 tbsp) butter
- 2 tbsp milk
- For the sauce: 50 ml (3 tbsp) cream (33%)
- 100 ml (about 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) milk
- 50 g (1/2 cup) hard cheese (parmesan recommended)
- 50 g (1/4 cup) soft cheese
Instructions
- Chop all patty vegetables (a blender works). Mix with the turkey, butter, and milk; shape into patties.
- Sear on both sides, transfer to a baking sheet, and bake until done.
- For the sauce: warm the cream and milk, add both cheeses, and stir until melted. Season to taste.
Tips
Use a mix of thigh and breast meat and do not overwork the mixture; this keeps the patties tender and juicy.
Sear over good heat for a golden crust, then finish in the oven so the centres cook through without drying out.
