Turkey Frikadellen

July 28, 2010 by my1stwordwaschocolate

My husband made these delicious turkey frikadellen the other night. I was taking care of our son, so I didn't follow his every move, but he based his recipe on the one below. He substituted ground turkey for the half pork, half beef that they suggest in the recipe.

Turkey Frikadellen

Ingredients

  • 1 c. chopped onion (about 1/2 of a large onion)
  • 1 tsp. oil
  • 1 day-old roll (about 2 oz.), softened in hot milk or water and squeezed dry.
  • 1 lb. ground meat (half and half; pork and beef)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
  • 3 T. chopped, fresh parsley or 1 T. dried parsley
  • 1 T. chopped, fresh marjoram or 1 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1 T. butter
  • 1 T. olive oil

Directions

Place  chopped onion in a small bowl, drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil, cover with  plastic wrap and microwave on high 2-3 minutes, or until translucent.   Cool slightly.

Break softened roll into little pieces in a bowl, add meat and the rest of the ingredients and the cooked onion and mix well.

Heat butter and olive oil together in a frying pan.  Form 4 patties  and fry over medium high heat until browned on both sides.  Place the  patties on a baking sheet and place in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes, or  until done.

My husband served the frikadellen alongside some rice with lemons and a salad.
