Ingredients

Green Goddess Sauce

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons jarred or fresh basil pesto
1 tablespoon capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup lightly-packed baby spinach
1/4 cup lightly-packed fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup lightly-packed fresh mint leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Arugula Pea Salad

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups firmly-packed arugula
1 cup steamed peas
Salt and pepper to taste

Turkey Patties

1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup grated yellow onion
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions

Green Goddess Sauce

Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.

Arugula Pea Salad

In a medium bowl, whisk lemon juice, mustard, and honey until smooth. Gradually whisk in olive oil until dressing is smooth. Toss arugula and peas into dressing and season salad with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside for a moment.

Turkey Patties

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, onion, garlic, parsley, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until meat is just combined and form into 10-12 uniform patties.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and swirl to coat pan. Working in batches, add patties in a single layer and sear 3-4 minutes on each side until patties register 165F. Repeat cooking with remaining patties, adding additional oil to pan as necessary.
Assemble turkey patties by spooning a bit of green goddess sauce on serving plates. Top with 2-3 patties and a few spoonfuls of arugula pea salad. Serve turkey patties immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Storing Instructions

Patties are best if served immediately after assembly.
