How to Make Ground Turkey Or Chicken Patties

  1. Preheat your skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound of ground turkey or chicken, 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers (about 8 crackers), 1/2 cup finely minced sweet onion, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Form patties: Shape the mixture into six patties, each about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Adjust size and thickness as desired, noting that cooking time will vary.
  4. Cook the patties: Carefully place the patties in the preheated skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer. Reduce heat slightly if browning too quickly.
  5. Serve immediately or store for later: Serve the patties hot, alongside your favorite breakfast accompaniments. For make-ahead convenience, allow the patties to cool completely before wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerating for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until heated through.
