Juicy Chicken and Turkey Patties

This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan.

These juicy ground chicken and turkey patties are made with onion, zucchini, and herbs (garlic optional, since many people with Crohn's disease may want to skip it) and can be air-fried, baked, or pan-fried.

These juicy chicken and turkey patties are perfect even when baked in the oven.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 kg (1.1 lbs) ground chicken
  • 1/2 kg (1.1 lbs) ground turkey
  • 2 onions
  • 1 large zucchini or 2 small ones
  • 3 cloves of garlic (optional; many people with Crohn's disease might want to skip it)
  • A handful of parsley
  • 2 eggs
  • 4-5 tablespoons breadcrumbs

For Seasoning:

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Turmeric
  • Cumin

Makes 25-30 patties

Instructions:

  1. Chop Vegetables:

    Finely chop all the vegetables using a food processor.

  2. Mix Ingredients:

    In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients and spices until you have a uniform mixture.

  3. Chill the Mixture:

    Place the mixture in the refrigerator for an hour to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. Prepare for Cooking:

    Take the mixture out of the refrigerator and mix it again.

  5. Cooking Methods:

  • Air Fryer: This method is healthier and avoids the smell of frying. Use the air fryer function.
  • Frying: Heat a skillet, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the patties on it with space between each one, spray with olive oil, and bake for 30 minutes (baking time may vary between ovens).
  • Ninja Grill: Select the Air Fry program, set the temperature to 180°C (356°F), and cook for 15 minutes. Place the patties, spray with olive oil, and close the lid. After 7 minutes, flip the patties and spray the other side with olive oil.
  1. Rest the Patties:

    Let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving.

  2. Serve:

    Enjoy your meal! Looking for a crunchy side, try our gluten-free seed crackers.
