Smart Merguez-Inspired Turkey Patties

African

Merguez is a spicy sausage used in North African cuisine. It’s usually made with mutton or lamb, but we're swapping in turkey and making patties in place of classic sausages. Briny feta and bright lemon add loads of flavour to both the patties and the salad. Smart is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's kilocalorie and carbohydrate amount.

Preparation
1
Form patties

  • Add breadcrumbs, Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend, two-thirds of the Zesty Garlic Blend and half the feta to a medium bowl. (TIP: If you prefer more tender patties, add an egg to mixture.) Reserve remaining feta to serve in step 6.
  • Crumble in turkey, then combine.
  • Form mixture into two (four) 4-inch-wide patties.

2
Sear patties and season peppers

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then patties. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook patties in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Pan-fry until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side.
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Add peppers, remaining Zesty Garlic Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. Set aside.

3
Cook patties and peppers

  • Transfer seared patties to the other side of the baking sheet with peppers.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven until peppers are tender and patties are cooked through, 10-12 min.**

4
Remaining prep and make lemony mayo

  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Add mayo, lemon zest and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon juice to a small bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

5
Make salad

  • Add 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. (TIP: Add a pinch of sugar to dressing, if desired.)
  • Add tomatoes and spinach, then toss to combine.

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide patties, peppers and salad between plates.
  • Sprinkle remaining feta over salad.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
  • Serve lemony mayo alongside for dipping.

If you've opted to get turkey, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef.
