Ingredients
- 450 grams Ground turkey (lean, 93% or higher)
- 60 grams Rolled oats (blended into a fine flour)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 15 grams Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 50 grams Onion (grated)
- 5 grams Dijon mustard
- 2 grams Salt
- 1 gram Black pepper
- 15 milliliters Olive oil (for cooking)
- 2 grams Lemon zest
- 100 grams Baby spinach (for serving, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, oat flour, egg whites, parsley, grated onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Use clean hands or a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 2 cm thick. Flatten slightly to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, place the patties into the skillet. Be careful not to overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 5
Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reads 74°C (165°F).
Step 6
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Serve warm over a bed of baby spinach or alongside your favorite heart-healthy side dishes.
