Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground turkey (lean, 93% or higher)
• 2 large Egg whites
• 30 grams Rolled oats (optional, for binding)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 15 ml Soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 5 grams Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
• 500 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg whites, and optional rolled oats. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and optional sesame oil for flavor. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and shape them into round, flat patties about 1-inch thick. Alternatively, you can form them into larger or smaller portions depending on preference.

Step 4

Prepare a steamer basket and a pot. Fill the pot with 500 ml of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 5

Place the turkey patties in the steamer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow steam to circulate. Do not stack them.

Step 6

Cover the steamer with a tight lid and steam the turkey patties for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Carefully remove the patties from the steamer using tongs or a spatula. Allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the steamed turkey patties hot with steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a light salad for a complete high-protein meal.
