The patty formula:
The best thing about these patties is that they are not strict about a specific ingredient list. They require a couple of basics but those are interchangeable. Those basics are:
- Any ground protein – you can use ground meat, turkey, etc.
- Some sort of liquid – you will want some liquid to soften the protein so that it is soft and juicy. You can use water or any kind of parve milk.
- An egg and breadcrumb mixture – this will add a really nice texture. You can use any kind of breadcrumbs or breadcrumb substitute like almond flour.
- Seasonings – it’s all about the flavor with these patties so add a little bit of your favorite sauce to the mixture whether it’s ketchup, BBQ sauce, mayo, or mustard. These sauces will also make the patties more creamy.
- Spices – Add your favorite spices for an extra kick.
