Why I Like this Recipe
I like this recipe when I have turkey mince and want a full dinner without using lots of pans. After shaping the patties and prepping the vegetables, the oven does most of the work. The garlic yoghurt is a nice addition, since lean turkey goes well with a bit of sauce, and it only takes a minute to make.
Tips and Variations
- Mix the turkey gently and stop once the ingredients are combined. Overworking the mixture can make the patties firm.
- Shape all four patties to a similar thickness so they cook evenly.
- Spread the vegetables out across the tray. Use a larger tray if they are crowded.
- Keep the broccoli florets fairly large to help prevent the edges from burning.
- Replace some of the potatoes with sweet potato, and check it towards the end, as it may soften sooner.
- Swap the broccoli for cauliflower, adding it earlier if the florets are large.
- Stir chopped parsley, dill or chives into the garlic yoghurt.
- Serve leftover patties in a wholemeal pitta with salad and garlic yoghurt.
Meal Storage
Let the cooked patties and vegetables cool, then put them in the fridge within 2 hours. Store them in airtight containers and eat within 3 days. Keep the garlic yoghurt in a separate covered container and use it within the same time frame.
Freezer tips
You can freeze raw or cooked patties for up to 3 months for best results. If freezing raw patties, make sure the mince is suitable for freezing. Freeze them in a single layer first, then move them to a freezer-safe container. Roasted vegetables can be frozen too, but they may get softer after reheating. Make the garlic yoghurt fresh when you need it.
Thaw the patties in the fridge overnight and cook or reheat them within 24 hours. Cook raw patties until the centre is 75°C. Reheat cooked patties until they are piping hot all the way through, and only reheat them once. You can reheat frozen roasted vegetables straight from the freezer in the oven or air fryer until they are hot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mix the ingredients gently and try not to cook the patties longer than needed. Use a food thermometer to check the centre and take them out when they reach 75°C. The egg and breadcrumbs help keep the patties moist, especially if you use very lean turkey mince.
Yes, you can, but the mixture will be softer to shape and the cooked patties may turn out firmer. Breadcrumbs soak up moisture and help the mixture stick together. If you need a gluten-free option, this recipe already uses gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Yes, you can. Place the patties in a single layer with space between them and turn them halfway through cooking. The cooking time depends on their thickness and your air fryer, so check that the centre reaches 75°C.
Yes, you can use chicken mince instead. Use the same amount and follow the same steps.
Yes, you can. Shape the patties, cover them, and keep them in the fridge until the next day, making sure to stay within the mince’s use-by date. Store the raw patties separately from the yoghurt dip and other ready-to-eat foods.
Closing Note
These baked patties make lean turkey mince into a full dinner, with the potatoes and vegetables roasting together in the oven. The garlic yoghurt is a great finishing touch, especially with lean meat. If you like mashed potatoes, try baked mince patties with mash and a cucumber and tomato salad.
