Making low carb simple

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°F (100°C). Mix all ingredients for the patties in a bowl.

  2. Shape the ground turkey into patties using wet hands. Fry in butter on medium-high heat until golden brown and fully cooked through. Place in the oven to keep warm.

  3. Shred the cabbage using a sharp knife, mandolin slicer, or food processor.

  4. Fry the cabbage in a generous amount of butter on medium-high heat until browned on the edges, but still has somebody. Stir occasionally to make sure it cooks evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat towards the end.

  5. Place all ingredients for the tomato butter in a small bowl and whip them together using an electric hand mixer. Plate the turkey patties and fried cabbage and place a dollop of tomato butter on top.

Tip

If you want an even creamier tomato butter, try replacing half of the butter with cream cheese.

    Made this from Free Range Thigh Fillet meat minced in Thermo Mix. Used leftover frame and bones to make broth.
    Kids also liked flavour and texture of this dish.

    The number of servings equals the number of patties. You can adjust the serving at the top of the ingredients list.
