Meal Idea Mondays: Turkey Patties

 As we mentioned in an earlier post, we make a lot of burgers, and this is one is probably one of our favourites. It is moist, egg-less and super easy to make and can be used for anything you need meat for.  They are essentially low calorie and low fat and obviously loaded with protein so if you are like us and starting a new intensive workout routine these are a welcome treat.

Time To Get Cooking!!!

In your mixing bowl drop in your ground turkey

Get your mushrooms and dice them up rather small

Drop them into the mixing bowl along with the flax meal and spices

Mix together until everything is fully and evenly incorporated

Divide into roughly 6 even sized balls

Pat down each ball into the patty and place on the plate

Repeat until done

Put into the fridge for about 20 minutes

After the 20 minutes is up, grab your skillet and place it on the stove-top at medium 

Let the pan warm up for about 5 minutes

Once warm, depending on how big your skillet is, put in anywhere from 2-4 patties

Cook on each side for 2 minutes

If you have a thermometer, stick it in the middle and make sure it reads over 135 degrees

If you do not have a thermometer (gently)push your finger into the center if it springs and is firm they are done, if your finger sinks do another 2 minutes on each side

After they are full cooked place on the plate lined with paper towels and set in a warm place until all burgers are done cooking

Tricks

-You will not need to oil your pan, the turkey will have its own oil to keep it from sticking as long as you do not burn the meat that is.
