Recipe
How to Prepare
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the coconut aminos, ginger, green onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and salt. Mix well, then with wet hands, form the mixture into 16 even-sized patties and flatten them gently between your two hands until about ½” thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add the patties to the skillet, and cook on both sides until the patties have browned, this will take around 6-8 minutes. Continue cooking, occasionally flipping the patties over, for a further 4-6 minutes. Repeat this process with remaining patties.
Storage: Once cooked and cooled, leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
