Ingredients
- for the turkey patties:
-
1 pound
ground turkey (dark, light or mix)
-
2
stalks celery (diced finely)
-
4
green onions (diced finely)
-
4
cloves garlic (minced)
-
2
eggs (whisked)
-
3/4 cup
panko bread crumbs
-
1 tablespoon
Creole spice mix
-
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
-
1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard
-
salt & pepper
-
olive oil
- for the Creole Yogurt:
-
3/4 cup
plain Greek yogurt
-
1/2
lemon (juice)
-
1 teaspoon
Creole spice mix
-
1 tablespoon
green onion (just the greens)
-
1 pinch
salt
Directions
-
Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add celery, onion, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, until soft. Transfer to a mixing bowl to cool.
-
As mixture cools, mix together the Creole yogurt in a small bowl. Mix yogurt, lemon juice, Creole spice mix, salt and green onion. Set aside until ready to serve.
-
Add remaining ingredients to mixing bowl with celery, onion and garlic (ground turkey, 2 eggs, panko, Creole spice mix, cayenne, Dijon, salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil). Mix with your hands until it all comes together in one sticky ball. Form mini patties into about 2 inch circles until all the meat mixture is pattied. It should make around 15 patties.
-
In the same large sauce pan, add a couple tbsp of olive oil and heat over medium high heat. Add 1/2 the patties -- that's probably all that will fit. Cook on 1 side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add remaining patties to the pan, adding additional olive oil if needed.
-
Once all patties are cooked, serve with Creole yogurt and chopped green onions.
