Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 ½ cups fine fresh bread crumbs
½ cup fresh or canned chicken broth
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1-pound package ground turkey
2 to 4 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
½ cup blanched, slivered almonds
Curry sauce (see recipe)
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
- Step 2
Put 1 cup of the bread crumbs in a mixing bowl and add the broth. Stir. Add the cooked onion, nutmeg, parsley, egg, salt and pepper. Add turkey and blend well. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions.
- Step 3
Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of bread crumbs on a flat surface and roll each portion in bread crumbs.
- Step 4
Flatten each portion into a round pattie about ¾ inch thick.
- Step 5
Heat about 2 tablespoons oil in 1 or 2 skillets large enough to hold the patties without crowding. Add the patties and cook about 4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.
- Step 6
Turn often as the patties cook.
- Step 7
Meanwhile put the almonds in a skillet and cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, until the almonds are nicely browned. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Step 8
Spoon the curry sauce over the patties and sprinkle with almonds.
Private Notes
Comments
This is classic Pierre Franey and excellent, though it takes at least an hour, not 30 minutes. I used a Granny Smith apple and pine nuts rather than almonds, but I can't imagine it could be more delicious. I served it with roasted cauliflower, the simplicity of which was welcome given the complexity of this dish.
