Chicken Patties

This is a good alternative to beef hamburgers. I make them with ground chicken or turkey. I do not serve them on a bun, why add more calories to your meal. I just serve them on a plate with whatever I choose on a side. Here I made some mushrooms with onions ans sour cream to go with chicken patties, and have a few slices of pickle. But if you’d like you can have it as a regular hamburger – on a bun, with tomato and other fixings.

Ingredients:

• 1 package ground chicken or turkey
• 1/2 yellow onion (cut in few pieces)
• 1-2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tbsp bread crumbs (any kind, I used Italian Style)
• 1/2 cup milk
• parsley (fresh or dry)
• tarragon (fresh or dry)
• 1/4 tsp of curry (optional)

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soak bread crumbs in milk
2. Grind onion, garlic and fresh parsley in a food processor
3. Sprinkle ground meat with salt and pepper, dry tarragon and curry (if you use it).
4. Add bread crumb and milk mixture and onion-garlic mixture
5. Mix everything well.
6. Make patties and cook them in olive oil until golden brown, turn them over, reduce the heat, cover the skillet and let them cook for about 30-40 minutes (add a little water if necessary so they wouldn’t burn).

Tip: I dip my hands in water when making patties, so they don’t stick to your hands or to the skillet.
