Russian Katleti Recipe (Turkey and Pork Patties)
Description
The Russian Katleti Recipe mixes equal parts ground pork and turkey with grated onion, finely chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, an egg, mayonnaise, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. The grated onion adds moisture and sweetness, while parsley introduces herbal freshness. Mayonnaise contributes to tender texture. The mixture is combined thoroughly using a mixer or by hand, then shaped into uniform patties approximately 20 in total using an ice cream scoop for even sizing. Avoid flattening the patties once on the skillet to preserve juices.
Patties are pan-fried over medium-high heat in olive oil, achieving a browned crust on both sides with multiple flips to prevent burning. They are then transferred to a preheated oven covered with foil for 10 minutes to finish cooking through gently, ensuring juiciness.
This method yields a balanced savory meat patty suitable for a main dish or snack, combining the mildness of turkey with the richer flavor of pork. The preparation balances moisture, texture, and spices for a classic Eastern European-style patty.
