Leftover Turkey Patties
Description
This recipe blends leftover turkey with almond flour, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, egg, garlic, onion, and parsley to bind and flavor the mixture. Processing most ingredients ensures a smooth batter that's easy to shape, with parsley folded in afterward to keep its fresh green color. The patties are portioned using a scoop for consistent size and fried in olive oil until browned on both sides.
The patties have a moist, tender texture with a balanced seasoning and garlic note. The use of almond flour keeps them gluten-free, and the inclusion of yogurt adds moisture while helping bind the ingredients. They can be served immediately and pair well with salads, buns, or as part of a meal.
For best results, use Diamond Crystal kosher salt or adjust salt if using other types. Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to four days or frozen individually on a parchment-lined tray before storing in bags to prevent sticking, making them convenient for later meals.
Ingredients
- 2 cups turkey meat cooked, shredded; 10 ounces
- ½ cup almond flour can substitute plain breadcrumbs, gluten-free if needed, superfine
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt plain, whole milk; or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt see notes below, Diamond Crystal brand
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
- ½ onion chopped
- ½ cup parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Add the turkey, almond flour, yogurt, mustard, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic, and onion to your food processor's bowl.
- Process until finely chopped and incorporated, stopping once to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Fold in the parsley. (If you add the parsley to the food processor, the patties will be tinted green - still delicious, but not pretty to look at. Speaking from experience).
- Heat a double-burner griddle over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Brush it with olive oil. Use a ¼ cup ice cream scoop or measuring cup to measure the patties, placing them on the griddle and flattening them with a spatula.
- Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side until well browned. Briefly place them on paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust salt amount if using kosher salt brands other than Diamond Crystal.
- Add yogurt if mixture is dry; add almond flour if too wet to get proper consistency.
- Use skinless white or dark turkey meat for best texture.
- Store refrigerated up to 4 days or freeze patties individually on a tray before bagging.
