Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey (lean, 93% or higher)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 30 grams Rolled oats (optional, for binding)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 15 ml Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 5 grams Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
- 500 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg whites, and optional rolled oats. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and optional sesame oil for flavor. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape them into round, flat patties about 1-inch thick. Alternatively, you can form them into larger or smaller portions depending on preference.
Step 4
Prepare a steamer basket and a pot. Fill the pot with 500 ml of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 5
Place the turkey patties in the steamer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow steam to circulate. Do not stack them.
Step 6
Cover the steamer with a tight lid and steam the turkey patties for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Carefully remove the patties from the steamer using tongs or a spatula. Allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the steamed turkey patties hot with steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a light salad for a complete high-protein meal.
