Asian-inspired turkey rissoles are a flavorful twist on the classic meat patty. Here’s a recipe for Asian-inspired turkey rissoles that you can try:
Ingredients:
For the Turkey Rissoles:
- 1 pound ground turkey (preferably lean)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (scallions)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (coriander)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for binding)
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside. This will be used as a dipping sauce for the turkey rissoles.
- Prepare the Turkey Rissoles:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the beaten egg to the mixture and combine everything thoroughly. The egg helps bind the mixture together.
- Shape the Rissoles:
- Take a portion of the turkey mixture and shape it into a patty or rissole. You can make them as large or as small as you prefer. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Rissoles:
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.
- Place the turkey rissoles in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a golden brown crust. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve:
- Serve the Asian-inspired turkey rissoles hot with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
These Asian-inspired turkey rissoles are delicious served on a bed of steamed rice or alongside a fresh salad. You can also use them in sandwiches or wraps with some Asian slaw for added crunch and flavor. Enjoy your meal!
