Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey mince
- ½ white onion grated
- 2 garlic cloves minced or finely diced
- ½ zucchini grated
- ⅓ celery stick finely diced
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoon thyme leaves diced
- 1 teaspoon sage leaves diced
- 1 teaspoon parsley diced
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
- olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 360F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients to a large bowl (other than the olive oil) and use hands or a spoon to combine. Be sure to mix together well, so the egg yolk and breadcrumbs are evenly distributed amongst the mixture.
- Wet your hands, then take about 2 heaped tablespoon of the mixture and form into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 8-9 rissoles.
- Drizzle olive oil in your skillet, and place 3-4 patties. Fry on a medium heat for around three minutes each side, so you have some browning. Repeat for the remaining patties, adding more olive oil if the skillet seems too dry. Place each batch on your lined baking tray.
- Bake the rissoles for 10 minutes, or until they have an internal temperature of 165F in their centres.
- Serve immediately with sides of your choice and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer, you can mince turkey breast yourself. There is a tutorial linked above in the post to help guide you.
- Give the egg yolk a quick mix with a fork before adding to the bowl with the other ingredients to help it distribute more easily.
- Wet your hands before making the patties as this helps prevent the mixture from sticking to them.
- Dice the celery quite finely, as well as the herbs. They won't be blended so will be that size when combined with the other ingredients. A big piece of onion or celery wouldn't be too appealing!
- You may need to add extra oil to the skillet if it becomes too dry.
- Check the internal temperature of the rissoles after baking for a reading of 165F on a meat thermometer.
- Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate not a guarantee.

- black pepper, which scores 2.
