This is an interesting (and healthy) take on a classic Russian dish, Kotlety, which are patties made from ground beef, pork, veal, or chicken with herbs and spices.
They're delicious.
Ingredients
Kotlety
1 lb. ground turkey
1 fistful parsley, minced
1 fistful cilantro, minced
Low-fat provolone cheese
kosher salt
black pepper
dash yellow curry powder
dash chili powder
Red Salad
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 large tomato, cut into thin wedges
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar (1 per serving)
kosher salt
black pepper
1/8 cup fresh straight parsley leaves.
Preparation
Kotlety
Season ground turkey with a dash of kosher salt, black pepper, yellow curry powder, and chili powder.
Add Minced herbs and mix thoroughly by hand.
Make four patties from the mixture, keeping size and width even.
Add 1 tbsp oil to a heated skillet. Once oil is hot, reduce heat to medium low and place the patties on the skillet. Shake pan to avoid sticking.
Cook on each side until well browned and mostly cooked through, approximately 5 minutes per side, depending on the heat of the pan.
De-glaze the pan with 1/2 cup water (do not remove the patties). Cover and simmer until patties are fully cooked, approximately 3-5 minutes.
When patties are fully cooked, top each patty with 1 or 1/2 slice provolone cheese. Cover and remove from heat. Let rest for three minutes.
When plating patties, top with 1 or 2 tbsp of liquid from the pan.
Red Salad
Season tomato wedges with a dash of salt and black pepper. Add tomatoes and red peppers to a bowl, add balsamic vinegar and toss by hand.
Top each serving with fresh parsley leaves for added flavor and color contrast.
Note:
While you may want to plate the patties and salad separately, the eventual mixing of the balsamic vinegar and the sauce from the patties adds an extra (and delicious) layer of flavor. The patties should be extremely moist and tasty.
Enjoy!
