Ingredients
Scale
Turkey Patties
- 1 lb ground turkey (preferably lean)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Serving
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the turkey mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the patties: Shape the turkey mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3-4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Ensure patties are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
- Cook the patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and patties are golden brown on the outside.
- Prepare the eggs: In a separate pan or the same skillet after removing the patties, cook the eggs to your preference—fried, scrambled, or poached. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Assemble and serve: Plate the turkey patties alongside the sliced avocado and cooked eggs. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately for a warm, hearty breakfast.
