Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey (lean, 93% or higher)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 30 grams Rolled oats (optional, for binding)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 15 ml Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 5 grams Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
- 500 ml Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg whites, and optional rolled oats. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and optional sesame oil for flavor. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape them into round, flat patties about 1-inch thick. Alternatively, you can form them into larger or smaller portions depending on preference.
Prepare a steamer basket and a pot. Fill the pot with 500 ml of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Place the turkey patties in the steamer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow steam to circulate. Do not stack them.
Cover the steamer with a tight lid and steam the turkey patties for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Carefully remove the patties from the steamer using tongs or a spatula. Allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the steamed turkey patties hot with steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a light salad for a complete high-protein meal.
