SAM BURGERS OR KTZITSOT
(PATTIES)
 
2-2 1/2 lb. ground turkey (90% fat free)
4 med. size zucchini
3 med. size carrots
3 cloves garlic
1 lg. onion
3 egg whites
1 egg yolk
Diced parsley & dill (2 tbsp. of each)
4-5 pieces of bread
Cornmeal
Canola or safflower oil

Use a grater to shred the zucchini, carrots, onion and garlic. Saute in a hot skillet with approximately 1 tablespoon oil for 5 minutes. Place in bowl; add 3 egg whites, 1 egg yolk and the 2-2 1/2 pounds of turkey. Mix well and combine with 4-5 pieces of soaked bread.

When mixture becomes cohesive, put a skillet on a low flame; spoon out a tablespoon of mixture, make into patty and dip it completely into cornmeal, place patties into a skillet to which a small quantity of oil has been added, so that patties won't burn; turn once every 3-4 minutes until well browned. Then remove with spatula and place on paper towel to drain.

Approximately 30 patties can be made from this mixture. If made into smaller patties, can be used for hors d'oeuvres. Serve warm. This tasty dish can be frozen.
