Turkey Patties with Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses Quick Meals
The modern, health-conscious answer to classic meatballs. Turkey is leaner than pork, so it can dry out, but mixing onions into the patty and a short cooking time keeps it juicy. The sweet potato side dish brightens the plate not just with color but flavor: its natural sweetness perfectly complements the savory turkey.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender (approx. 15 mins).

Tip: Sweet potatoes cook faster than regular potatoes, don't overcook them!
2 ✓

Meanwhile, combine turkey, egg, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Tip: If the mix is too soft, add a bit more breadcrumbs, but keep it moist.
3 ✓

Form patties with wet hands. Heat oil in a skillet and fry over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Tip: Turkey must be fully cooked, but avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
4 ✓

Drain the potatoes and mash with a drizzle of olive oil (or butter). Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Sweet potatoes are moist enough that you don't necessarily need milk for a creamy mash.
5 ✓

Serve the golden patties alongside the bright orange mash.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the patties fall apart?
Not enough binder (egg, crumbs) or you didn't chill them before cooking.
Can I boil sweet potatoes in their skin?
Yes! They absorb less water and retain more flavor. Just peel them while hot (carefully).
