Turkey And Sweet Potato Patties With Fresh Fruit Salsa Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

=== TURKEY AND SWEET POTATO PATTIES ===
Refrigerated butter-flavored cooking spray, as needed
1 small onion - (4 oz), finely chopped
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1 1/2 cups minced cooked turkey
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tsp grated orange rind
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
6 cups mixed baby greens
=== FRESH FRUIT SALSA ===
1 navel orange - (8 oz), peeled, segmented,
and chopped, plus any juice from orange
1 Granny Smith apple - (8 oz), cored, chopped fine
1 scallion, white part and 2" green, chopped
4 oz red bell pepper, minced
2 jalapeño chile peppers, seeded, minced
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt, (optional)
1 packet sugar substitute

Recipe Instructions:

Lightly coat a large nonstick saute pan with cooking spray; add the onions and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to color and are reduced by a third.

In a large bowl place the mashed sweet potatoes, cooked onion, turkey, egg substitute, and orange rind. Mix well.

Place the chopped walnuts on a sheet of waxed paper. Form the potato-turkey mixture into 8 small patties and lightly coat with walnuts (the nuts will not totally cover the patty surfaces). Place patties on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover with foil and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Wash and chill the greens.

While the patties are chilling, combine the chopped orange and any residual juice, apple, scallion, red pepper, jalapeños, lemon juice, olive oil, salt (if using), and sugar substitute. Stir to combine and set aside.

Just before serving, lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Saute the patties over medium-high heat, turning once, until the walnuts begin to brown and the patties are cooked through.

To serve, divide the greens between 4 plates. Place 2 patties on top of each and top with 1/4 cup of the salsa. Pass the remaining salsa in a small serving bowl.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."

~ John Thorne, American food writer
