Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, grated and lightly pressed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Optional Ingredients
- 1 egg (optional, to bind)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon and fresh parsley. Grate the onion and press out any excess moisture. Mince the garlic and set all aside for mixing.
- Mix the Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped smoked turkey bacon, grated onion, minced garlic, panko breadcrumbs, plant-based cheese, and natural gelling agent. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, black pepper, paprika, and fresh parsley. Mix gently to blend.
- Bind and Shape: If using, whisk in the egg gently, then thoroughly mix everything with hands or a spoon until evenly combined. Form the mixture into small, firm patties about 2-3 inches wide.
- Cook Your Patties: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even browning.
- Serve Warm: Remove patties from the pan and let rest for a minute. Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast sides or toppings.
Notes
- Don’t overwork the meat to keep patties tender.
- Cook a small test patty to adjust seasoning before shaping all.
- Use fresh herbs and organic vegetables for best flavor.
- Make all patties uniform in size for even cooking.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure thorough cooking.
