Turkey cutlets with rice
Description
You can use any turkey meat for these patties, but fillet works best. It gives the mince a more uniform texture, and thanks to the addition of water and rice, the patties won't turn out dry.

Step 1
Peel the onion and chop it finely using a blender or meat grinder. Rinse the turkey meat, cut it into pieces, and grind it the same way as the onion (if you are using a thigh instead of breast, carefully remove all excess: tendons, cartilage, bones beforehand). Then add the egg yolk to the same bowl.

Step 3
Now, add a little water to the resulting mixture to make the patties juicier and more tender, then mix the minced meat with previously boiled and cooled rice.

Step 4
Form patties from the resulting minced mixture. Ideally, to make a truly dietetic, not only tasty but also 100% healthy dish, turkey and rice patties are best cooked by steaming. But that doesn't mean you can't simply pan-fry them. The choice is always yours!
