  • Store-bought ground turkey can be hard to find — it's a bit pricey and not as popular as other kinds. But since turkey doesn't trigger allergies the way chicken sometimes does, and it skips the extra fat of pork, it's a frequent pick for main dishes. So it's worth taking a little time to grind it yourself. Rinse the turkey fillet, pat it dry, and cut it into pieces small enough to fit through a meat grinder. Cut the fatback into pieces too. Peel the onion and cut it into several small pieces. Run the meat, fatback, and onion through the grinder, alternating them as you feed them in so the mixture comes out uniform right away. The mixture turns out tender and soft, so there's no soaked bread in this recipe. Crack in the egg and add salt, ground pepper, and any spices you like. Mix everything together until smooth. To help it all come together, stir first with a fork, then with your hands. Heat a skillet with the vegetable oil until hot, and at the same time set the oven to 300°F (150°C). With damp hands, shape oblong patties and set them in the skillet so they don't touch. Fry on both sides until golden (about 4 minutes per side). Cover the nearly-cooked patties with a lid and move them into the warm oven. Keep them in there about 15 minutes — that's the time they need to soften up, turn tender, and finish cooking through in the center. Take the finished patties out of the oven and serve immediately, hot, with any side dish. They pair best with potatoes, spaghetti, or stewed vegetables. Just before serving, spoon the melted oil left in the skillet over the patties. Finely chop the herbs and scatter them on top. Enjoy!
