TURKEY PATTIES

SPICY JUICY TURKEY PATTIES

These patties are smaller than regular patties. They are flavorful and juicy and they are an any-time snack. 

You can make 25 patties from a 3 pound ground turkey meat. 

It is also a great meal with salad for those who follow a keto diet. 

It goes well with any kind of chutney or sauce.
