The second-time turkey leftovers




Jen loves turkey and so my mom not only made turkey (for the second time this year), but sent me home with leftovers :-) Just an excuse for another left-over invention.

8 oz cooked turkey (we had a mix of white and dark meat from the last bird)
0.5 cup almond meal (you can easily use a spice grinder to chop up raw nuts)
0.5-0.75 cup pumpkin puree (start w/0.5 and add more if the mixture is too dry)
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
0.5 teaspoon salt
*** 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (I didn't add this but would have if I could have re-done them)

Throw items in the food processor, pulse until mixed (but not too much, you don't want a paste exactly). Shape into patties and fry in a frying pan with ~2 teaspoons of oil until warm and browned. There isn't anything raw in them, so you don't have to worry about cooking it all the way through. Serve with ketchup (sorry, there's been a theme the past few days).

We made 6 burgers, info per burger:
cals: 119
