Even after all that turkey for last week’s Thanksgiving, I’m still talking about turkey! I can’t help it though, it’s the only time of the year that I have so much turkey to deal with. Yesterday was Stuffed Peppers with Turkey, today it’s going to be about Turkey Patties! These are seriously delicious. I change them up all the time, but I always go back to my original recipe; mozzarella and mushrooms – marriage made in heaven!

You will need:

• 1/2 pound ground turkey
• 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
• 4 fresh mushrooms, diced
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes
• 1/8 teaspoon dried mint
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon parsley
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese

For the sandwich:

• 2 slices of Honey Whole Wheat Bread
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard, divided
• 1 slice of Fat-Free Mozzarella Cheese
• 1 slice of tomato
• 1 leaf of lettuce

Directions:

• Preheat oven at 350.
• Put all of the ingredients into the ground turkey and mix well with your hands.
• Divide the mixture into 4, and form 4 patties.
• Line a baking sheet with foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and arrange the patties.
• Put in the oven for 10 minutes - flip to the other side - and back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
• Get two slices of Honey Whole Wheat Bread and spread 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard on each slice.
• Build the rest of the sandwich with a slice of fat-free mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato and the turkey patty.
