Turkey Patties
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated onion, minced garlic, parsley, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Mix until just combined and form into 10-12 patties, making a small indentation in each to ensure even cooking.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
