Apple & Turkey Breakfast Patties with Sauteed Greens
Ingredients:
- 9 ounces extra lean ground turkey
- 1 apple
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 inch piece)
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1½ teaspoons coconut oil, divided
- 2 bunches kale leaves (or rainbow chard)
- 2 teaspoons water
Not all foods are created equal.
Eat well. Stay awesome!
Instructions
1. Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Pat it with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
2. Peel, core and grate the apple using a box grater. Squeeze out the excess juice from the apple and
discard. Add the apple to the turkey along with the ginger, Italian seasoning, apple cider vinegar and salt. Gently mix to combine then form the meat mixture into thin patties, approximately 4 inches in diameter.
3. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat. In batches, cook the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Wipe the pan out and add more oil in between batches.
4. When you are finished cooking the patties, use the same skillet to wilt the greens with water.
5. To serve, divide greens and patties between plates and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Enjoy!
These could also make a great main meal - just serve with sides of choice.
*Notes:
Best Flavor: A tart apple like a Granny Smith or Honeycrisp works best for this recipe.
No Kale?
Use another leafy green like Bok Choy, Swiss chard, collard greens or even green (or red) cabbage!
