Equipment

medium bowl
large skillet

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey or chicken
1/3 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs or oats for gluten free
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
1-2 tablespoons oil for frying

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except the oil in a medium bowl and stir well until thoroughly combined.
Heat oil in a large skillet, griddle, or electric skillet over medium heat.
Fill a tablespoon size cookie scoop with a little extra to shape into 18-20 patties, dropping them one at a time into the hot skillet. Use the back of the scoop to flatten each patty.
Cook 2 minutes and turn, flattening the patties again with a spatula. Cook another 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook the patties, turning as needed, until browned and cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

Storage: Store the patties in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Reheating: Heat 30 seconds to a minute in a microwave, 2-3 minutes in an air fryer or toaster oven.

Freezing: These patties freeze wonderfully! Store in a freezer baggie or container for 3-4 months.

Meal Prep: Cook up a batch - or double batch - when you have time, cool and freeze. When ready to eat, simply pull from the freezer and microwave about a minute until warmed through. Or, thaw overnight and reheat in an air fryer or skillet for a few minutes.
