Great recipie. I use ground turkey 85/15 and don't even use the egg whites. I have added brown rice, couscous, red onions mushrooms, peppers.. and the list goes on. I do keep the wet Ingredience the same.. I make this at least once a month. lOVE IT!
Sesame Turkey Cakes with Sweet Chili Sauce
These savory cakes with a slightly Asian flair are best served just out of the skillet with a side of stir-fried vegetables. You can use leftover Chinese takeout rice or prepared boil-in-bag rice instead of basmati. Water chestnuts add a distinct crunch. Look for sweetened chili sauce in Asian markets, and offer the remaining sauce with spring rolls.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 patty and about 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce)
