Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground turkey
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, minced Ginger
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 1 cup Bread crumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, green chili, minced garlic, and minced ginger.

Step 2

Add the chopped cilantro, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt to the bowl.

Step 3

Mix everything thoroughly to incorporate the spices evenly into the turkey mixture.

Step 4

Crack the egg into the mixture and add the bread crumbs. Mix well to form a cohesive dough-like texture.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round patty or cutlet about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Working in batches, place the cutlets in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the cooked cutlets and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining cutlets, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Serve the Indian Turkey Cutlets hot with mint chutney, yogurt, or your favorite side dish.
