Ingredients
Turkey Meat Sausages (Qevapi)
- 16 oz ground turkey meat
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying) or avocado oil
- 1/2 yellow onion grated
- 3 cloves garlic grated
- ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey meat, onions, garlic, herbs, oil spices & baking soda. Using a spatula or your hands, mix just until combined. Don't over mix.
- Marinate and refrigerate the meat for at least 30 min before cooking.
- Using your hands, form 14-16 sausage shaped patties, about 3 ½ to 4 inches in length.
- To a large skillet, add 2 tbsp of oil to the pan. Cook the sausages in batches making sure to flip them throughout the cooking process. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the internal temp reaches 165° on a meat thermometer. Let them rest for a few minutes before enjoying!
- Serve in a pita, a salad, or with a side of rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes
- You could use ground beef, pork, or chicken instead.
- I use a cheese grater for the onion and the smaller side for grating the garlic. If you don't have a grater, just chop them both very fine. You could also use a food processor.
