Ingredient Substitutions
Ground Turkey
Use 93% lean ground turkey in place of 99% lean ground turkey. The patties will contain more fat but may have a softer, juicier texture.
Ground Chicken
Replace the ground turkey with the same amount of ground chicken. Check that the patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Fresh Parsley
Use chopped cilantro or green onion in place of the parsley. Both options pair well with sweet chili sauce.
Garlic Powder
Replace 1 teaspoon garlic powder with 1 minced garlic clove.
Egg White
Use 2 tablespoons beaten whole egg in place of the egg white.
Sweet Chili Sauce
Mix 3 tablespoons honey with 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce to make a substitute for the ¼ cup sweet chili sauce.

Notes
Tips and Tricks
Chill a soft mixture – If the turkey mixture feels too loose to shape, refrigerate it for 10 minutes. Dampen your hands – Lightly wet your hands before shaping the patties to reduce sticking. Avoid pressing the patties – Do not press down on the patties with the spatula while they cook. Pressing can release moisture from the meat.Storing and Reheating
Refrigerate – Let the patties cool, then place them in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze – Wrap each cooled patty separately and place them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Reheat in Microwave – Place a patty on a microwave-safe plate and cover loosely. Heat in 30-second intervals until the center reaches 165°F. Reheat on Stovetop – Place the patties in a covered skillet with 1 tablespoon water. Warm over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until heated through.Nutrition
