My oldest son loves food made with ground meat, such as meatloaf, meatballs and hamburgers. So, I am always looking for ways to make him dishes using ground beef or pork.
My mother-in-law's food choices always lean toward health foods and she uses ground turkey to make her meatloaf. The other day I tried it for the first time and to my surprise, I liked it!
After that turkey meatloaf, I decided to cook some ground turkey recipes for my son and these Turkey Patties with Cilantro and Basil sauce is one of them. It was delicious!
Buen provecho!

We love ground turkey patties. I use many ground meats except beef (it just doesn't agree with me) so I am always looking for new recipes tor try. This sounds so good with the basil sauce. I like how you added the cilantro to the sauce and the meat balls!
Kalyn
Definitely sounds good to me!

To me ground turkey is boring but you have really seasoned it up really well and paired it with that savory basil/cilantro sauce.
Erica
Thank you guys!

This sounds fabulous! Even more so since I still have basil and cilantro in the garden because we haven't had a hard freeze here yet. In fact all your recipes with ground meat look delicious. We use at least 2 lbs of ground turkey a week.
