Ingredients
- 250 grams lean ground beef
- 250 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams whole grain bread crumbs
- 60 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed vegetable oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the whole grain bread crumbs and milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the crumbs absorb the milk and become soft.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, lean ground turkey, chopped onion, egg, soaked bread crumbs, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients until they are well combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties about 2 cm thick.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with vegetable oil spray.
Step 6
Place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through, and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the Frikadelle from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Low Fat Frikadelle warm, with a side of mixed vegetables or a fresh salad.
