Breaded Three-Cheese Turkey Patties

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: 14 Minutes

Ready In: 34 Minutes

Servings: 6

Plan ahead the patties need to chill for at least 6 hours or 24 hours, the longer the better -1 pound should give you 6 small patties or 4 large I would suggest to make them small to reduce the cooking time, if you are are oven baking then go ahead and make 4 large -this recipe may be doubled but keep the garlic to the same amount or increase only slightly, these may be browned in a skillet in oil then placed on a baking pan to finish cooking in the oven

Ingredients:

1 ground turkey

2 large garlic cloves, minced (garlic lovers use more)

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 tablespoons ricotta cheese (can use creamed cottage cheese slightly mashed with a fork)

1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese (can use fontina or emmenthal)

1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon ketchup

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or use 3 teaspoons dried)

1 teaspoon dried basil (or use 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh)

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or use white salt)

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (can use less i like lots of pepper!)

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
