Sesame Turkey Cakes - cjs - 12-01-2007
Had the meat left from making turkey stock from the carcass - in other words, turkey meat with not much flavor
, so needed to jazz it up a bit. Made these for brunch this a.m. This is a really nice idea from Cooking Light. and they are only 6 points.Sesame Turkey Cakes with Sweet Chili Sauce
Cooking Light: "These savory cakes with a slightly Asian flair are best served just out of the skillet with a side of stir-fried vegetables. You can use leftover Chinese takeout rice or prepared boil-in-bag rice instead of basmati. Water chestnuts add a distinct crunch. Look for sweetened chili sauce in Asian markets, and offer the remaining sauce with spring rolls."
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
1 cup cooked basmati rice
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup sweetened chili sauce
Combine the first 11 ingredients in a large bowl. Add dry breadcrumbs and sesame seeds; stir until well blended. Divide turkey mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 3/4-inch-thick patty.
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 3 patties; cook 3 minutes. Carefully turn patties; cook 3 minutes or until golden. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and patties. Serve patties immediately with chili sauce.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 patty and about 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

Re: Sesame Turkey Cakes - Roxanne 21 - 12-02-2007
That sure looks interesting--I'm beginning to wonder if I should subscribe to ANOTHER magazine--
Re: Sesame Turkey Cakes - cjs - 12-02-2007
Roxanne, what I've finally started doing is - I've cancelled all my magazine subs (except for 2 or 4
) and just buy the annuals now. Almost every magazine offers them. At least a lot of the ones I used to subscribe to - Southern Living, Cook's Illus., Cooking Light. Just rec'd my So. Liv & Cook's.
Re: Sesame Turkey Cakes - Roxanne 21 - 12-02-2007
I should be getting my CI annual shortly---I will look into the others--thanks for the tip---didn't think of that--CRS ya know
Tell me a bit more about Southern Living, please. Worth it??
Re: Sesame Turkey Cakes - luvnit - 12-02-2007
That's a great idea. Never thought of that. I still love the magazine and the articles, but maybe for other mags. Thanks for the tip Jean.
Re: Sesame Turkey Cakes - cjs - 12-03-2007
Southern Living is just chocked full of bad things for you - delicious southern cooking at it's finest...
It also has lots of articles on southern festivals, cities to visit, things to do, etc.
