Mushroom Turkey Patties

Ingredients

  • pound ground turkey
  • (4 ounce) jar mushrooms, drained and diced
  • (1.5 ounce) package dry beef stew seasoning mix
  • eggs, beaten
  • /4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Begin by draining the jar of mushrooms well and dicing them into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, diced mushrooms, dry beef stew seasoning, and beaten eggs. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until just combined—be careful not to overwork the meat, which can lead to dense patties. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾-inch thick. I find that pressing a small indent in the center with your thumb keeps them from puffing up during cooking.

  2. Step 2

    Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot but not smoking, place the patties in the pan, leaving space between them. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes on the first side until a nice crust forms. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 10 to 12 minutes. To ensure they are fully cooked, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part—it should register 165°F. Remove the patties to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes. This resting time helps lock in the juices. Serve hot with your favorite keto sides.

Chef's Tip

I always let the formed patties rest in the fridge for 10 minutes before cooking—this simple step firms them up and reduces crumbling. For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the mix. It’s a trick that ensures they hold together beautifully in the skillet, and the paprika lends a subtle smokiness that complements the beefy seasoning.

Storage Tips

Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water to keep them moist, or enjoy cold atop a salad.

Variation Tips

For a different flavor twist, swap the beef stew seasoning with ranch seasoning or Italian herbs. Serve the patties over cauliflower mash or alongside sautéed spinach for extra greens. You can also stuff them with a little pepper jack cheese before cooking for a spicy, creamy center.
