If you miss the deliciousness of kotleti, but want an updated, healthy version, this recipe is it! I hope you love it as much as I do.

Do you remember ground chicken kotleti? Or kotleti made with ground beef or ground pork?

Turkey wasn’t a type of meat we enjoyed in Ukrainian or Russian kotleti (or katleti) back in the day in the Soviet Union.

But turkey kotleti is a tasty, healthier version. It’s even better during the holiday season when the freshest turkey meat is available.

For those who don’t already know, Kotleti, also known as “cutlets” are crispy, individual meat patties. They are great to serve with a salad and mashed potatoes or as appetizers with sour cream. You can also freeze them for easy weeknight meals.

This gluten-free recipe does not use breadcrumbs but is a comfort food, nonetheless. And, not having to crumble toasted white bread saves prep time!

If you’re looking for a heartier version and don’t fear the gluten or added carbohydrates, dredge the patties in breading before frying.

One of my favorite concepts about this recipe is the fact that all of the ingredients and simple and commonly are already at home. There’s no big necessity to go to the store and shop for unfamiliar ingredients. On your regular grocery run, you can simply pick up some turkey meat and enjoy the simplicity of this recipe.

What do I need to make these turkey kotleti?

Turkey meat: Just like with other kotleti recipes, I like to use dark turkey meat. I find that the patties turn out more juicy and tender. You can purchase already ground meat, or grind the meat yourself at home.

Carrot contains beta-carotene, which supports your eyesight.

Onion is filled with antioxidants that are anti-inflammatory and benefit your immune system.

Along with those ingredients, you will need an egg, salt & pepper, and light extra virgin olive oil.
