Meat patties are tasty and versatile, but still healthier minced turkey meatballs are not found.
It must be remembered that the turkey is hypoallergenic meat, while it contains many nutrients and little fat, therefore it is recommended for children, people with overweight, the elderly and weakened people.
Some of the recipes for minced turkey meatballs below are dietary.
Turkey mince meatballs - general principles
Turkey meat is dry. Therefore, the stuffing is usually added butter, cream, greens.
The controversy raises the question of whether to add eggs and a bread soaked in milk. Some mistresses claim that soaked bread makes cutlets not softer, but, on the contrary, harder to chew. The same claims are made to the eggs.
Of course, every woman on this topic has her own opinion. It might be worth trying both. In any case, it is safe to say the following.
First, no matter what they say about egg white, yolkadded to turkey minced meat patties will in no way make them tougher. And enriches with useful substances!
Secondly, if turkey minced meat patties are intended for children, then do not hesitate: they will like the option with a soaked bun more.
Many are of the opinion that, instead of a loaf, it is worth adding raw potato. It really improves the taste and texture of turkey minced meat or beef meatballs. You can also add cabbage (cauliflower or white cabbage), carrots, celery root, but all these vegetables have a sharper taste, so they give the minced turkey meatballs a distinct flavor, and this is not to everyone's liking.
Turkey mince cutlets can be cooked in different ways: fry in a frying pan; cook in a double boiler or multi-cooker; stew in the sauce; bake in the oven. In the oven, of course, it makes sense to cook a large number of meatballs. They should be laid out on oiled baking paper and cooked for about half an hour in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. If the recipe involves a specific cooking option, we will report it.
Mince, of course, it is better to make the most of the fillet, and immediately before cooking meatballs. If the dish is not intended for small children or people with a sore stomach, it is better to skip the fillet through a meat grinder with a large-mesh net - the cutlets will be juicier.
Turkey minced meatballs usually browse well, but if you like to cook breaded meat, skip the wheat or corn rusks before grilling and roll the meatballs in them before grilling. You can also breaded meatballs in semolina. In the breading, you can add strongly crushed dry spicy greens, although this is already an amateur.
