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)
To Serve
- 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 bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small, round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook Patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey patties in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are golden brown on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Eggs: In the same skillet, cook the eggs to your preferred style (fried, scrambled, or poached). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble and Serve: Arrange turkey patties on plates, add sliced avocado alongside, and place the cooked eggs on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired for extra flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use lean ground turkey to keep the patties light and healthy.
- You can substitute fresh herbs for dried if desired, adjusting the quantity accordingly.
- For added spice, mix red pepper flakes directly into the turkey mixture.
- Serve with whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking and browning.
